Purse seining is about as fish-friendly as you can get.  It's a far cry better than the state sponsored gillnetting.

"The Colville Tribe is running the purse seine for two reasons, to collect Chinook Brood for the hatchery, and to harvest up to 10% of the Sockeye. The Sockeye number is big this year, and they probably won't come close to catching 34,000, but that is the harvest agreement with WDFW. As for Chinook, they only keep wild fish for brood, once they reach that number, all wild fish are released (only Tribe in the state that can say that). Bear in mind, without the Tribe's hatchery, there would be far less Chinook for us to catch."

Thanks for the thoughtful and factual insight into this, instead of the usual indian bashing that some of our jealous members love to rail against.

Fished the Brewster pool Thursday night, Friday morning and night and today Saturday morning, the morning bite is really where it's at, yeah they catch fish in the evening,we did to but the morning is better by a land slide, the boat ramp really wasn't that bad, we launched around 4:30 a.m. and there were about 6 boats in line, for 2 ramps. Tons of people out there today but mostly all really nice, we caught 2 kings and 6 sockeye so we didn't kill em but we did alright and I got to spend some quality time with my son so that counts for a lot more in my book, go catch em guys...
