Then man doesn't manage the furbags correctly.
Follow the money!!!!

Man has created unnatural flows, water temp, and barriers which changes fish behavior and allows it to be a win for the furbags.
Then man doesn't manage the furbags correctly.
Follow the money!!!!
Along with installing ready made habitat for them with docks, piers and buoys to rest on.

I don’t fish the lower river so I didn’t realize there were this many around. I’m afraid the salmon numbers will soon look like the steelhead if something isn’t done.
They figure the sea lions kills around 40-50% of the springer run.

Nice fish! Congrats! :tup:

Just to clarify, we are talking about the "native and protected" California sea lions, correct?

They could charge for a drawing and then charge the successful applicants that drew $250 per tag and have no problem selling enough tags to kill every last one of the *censored*ers, while generating money to put back into fish and wildlife. Like I said, just another display of government incompetence at its finest. :twocents:

People still buy licenses?
When you fish as much as I do it’s not a choice. I get checked at least 6 times a year. There’s too many sea lions and they kill way too many fish but… there’s still tons that make it and they are delicious and they bite so good. Can’t wait for later in April for my season to start.

Only 31 Springers counted at Bonneville so far.
It’s to early for those numbers to mean anything but there’s more that have came over this year then last year so far. A little hope for a stronger than forecasted run at least.

Was out yesterday below i5. Mark, the few fish but no bites whatsoever. Talk to a few people they said the same thing marked a few but no nets flying.
When you say below I5 do you mean between the bridges or down at Davis Bar?
Hit or miss, rain or shine I'll be at Portco Thursday and depending how things go maybe Kalama Friday.
Good luck out there!

Fishing buddy of mine has been at Cathlamet for the last couple weeks on the good tides. They got a 17lb Springer the other day and sent me two photos of a couple nice ones in each yesterday, looked to be mid teens. I'm going down tomorrow til Friday.
Probably summers not springers.
