Typical Skok Mess

[Bofire]

  I went to the Skok about 3 weeks ago, I saw three caucasion guys "drifting" corkies, they got alot of bites because they set the hook several times a cast.
One of them talked to me, thought he knew me, I asked about his gear, he was fishing 50 lb. braid with a 40 pound leader, he had a corkie on above a big treble hook.
He looked at my gear, I felt pathetic with my up to 1 ounce rod, small spinning reel and 8 lb line Bobber and Jig.!! I just left, I want nothing to do with that sort of "fishing"
It aint just the indians!

I have seen alot of "Snaggers" and alot of indian waste when they net a small river then clean out the nets gut the fish for the eggs. Then toss the fresh fish up on the shore. I have also seen them throw steelhead up on the beach that got caught in the nets. But I have seen alot of trash left behind on the non-tribal side like barbecues, bags full of trash that sticks around through winter. It appears to be better this year. I have seen the indians(juveniles) shoot BB guns at people fishing and the tribal enforcement doesn't bother dealing with it. I have tried to avoid it this year except from my sled by the mouth. But I agree that there has been a lack of fish caused by who knows what. The indians do place alot of nets on the river and on the canal especially by the Hoodsport hatchery. I have noticed alot of seals out this year getting their share though. Least someones getting fish
