Title: Columbia river salmon and steelhead
Post by: Blacklab on August 02, 2020, 09:45:11 AM

A little bent this morning🤬🤬🤬
Thank you Washington state fishing commission. Charging us money for 6 plus years to protect the ESA listed fish in the Columbia river.  Salmon, steelhead, and sturgeon for a better population. Then letting the gillnets in from Warrior rock to Bonneville dam is asinine. Like shoveling *censored* against the tide you all are worthless. Can you tell I’m not impressed with Washington government. Hopefully I’m not the only one. On November 3 hope to see a change of the tides. From donkey gooberment to common sense government.

Nothing will change on Nov. 3 in this state.  For the life of me I can't figure out where the fish lawyers and conservation groups are during commercial netting.  Short of dynamite, mono gill netting in the dark practically shore to shore is the most destructive thing to all kinds of fish, no way what is reported is even close to what gets killed and dumped over the side.

The commercial interest has paid up and get what they want.

So I can tell you this,  when the wdfw has meetings and the vast majority of folks that show up for these meetings are , Indians, environmentalists, Gill netters, guides are the ones showing up.    Can’t piss and moan if ya don’t go to the meetings!  Kinda like not voting on political issues.  If ya don’t vote then shut up.

Not saying the OP doesn’t go or vote. Just saying the fact is on fishing issues in this state Sportsman are Being heard because of lack of turn out.
