Post by: h20hunter on November 08, 2013, 02:57:00 PM: Not connected by area, only connected by the fact that the fish are treated like garbage and the waste is ignored.

Skagit used to have one heck of a run of chum ...I remember taking my boys down there for a couple hours and by the time we left there arms hurt sooo bad they had to go home and cry to mamma :yike: GOOD OLD DAYS ! They have totally freakin messed up the whole river system !!!

Or down the street in tribal members yards, four foot high piles with a tarp over them. Never understood that... Pretty sure they were not freezing or drying them to feed the sled dogs all winter...

Post by: bingman on November 08, 2013, 04:53:20 PM: It wasnt too many years ago that the skagit was full of them. I used to go down there after school and catch them until my arms were sore. The nets have taken their toll, its only a matter of time until the silver fishing goes that direction.

and now that the cowlitz has no early winter run you'll have plenty of company fishing on that dismal plant. Not to worry though, theyre saving the native stocks in sw washington, havent you heard ?.another wdfw debacle.

Post by: Gobble Doc on November 18, 2013, 07:07:30 AM: I remember taking my kids to the Skagit 10 years ago. It was epic. Lots of big fish and great for kids. Last few years I checked things out it didn't look too good. I used to look forward to this time of year for the chum. I think those days are gone.

Post by: ghosthunter on November 18, 2013, 07:36:33 AM: Well no one has ever called me a fisherman. And I am not. But I hate waste of wild resources. Somebody needs to get pictures when this happens and smack them down at every state resource hearing or any where else.

If nothing else it would might put some heat on.

And really we should treat this just like the wolf thread. Rights are Rights, and wrong is wrong. Some indians are two faced about conservation. And have to be called out every time they cross the line. :bash: :sry: :yike:

Post by: BOWHUNTER45 on November 18, 2013, 07:49:14 AM: like I just told Gobble Doc in a AM message :chuckle: It will not be long until we have no more chum running up the Skagit ....I am so tired of it all ...they just need to wipe out all the fish in the Skagit and that way no one has to worry about managing anything ...I feel the same way about the elk now too !!! Kill them all !!!!! :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :iamwithstupid:

Post by: wildweeds on November 22, 2013, 10:20:08 PM: Apparantly the proper term for this waste is " Nutrient enhancement" My buddy runs a hatchery in this state,he's a fish guy with a degree and says its Bovine Scatology.All the homeless and down on their luck folks would more than likely not mind a salmon dinner even if it was chums.I'm an admitted fish snob but for smoking and pickling,there really ain't nothing wrong with bright dogs.
