Well appearances are deceiving. Once again the good old boys with those long nets get to cream the runWhile i know that the true June hogs are all but gone, the summer season is opening here soon...and it is a fair bit longer than the 2 week season i was hearing rumors about.
looks like June Th to July ST in my neck of the woods... Nice.
well crappie1, do you know why the proposed gill net ban died and WILL NOT be voted on this fall? I have noticed none of its champions have written about it.... and the enormous mistake they made by getting into bed with extremist radical groups? if no one says anything soon I guess I will have to write a post about it.
Well Crappie...here comes your heart breaker......THE CCA actually backed this one (read Ginny Ross), along with the takle makers. This is a pure political move to show that this run, some 80% wild stock this year will most likely be netted back to near extinction and prove their point. Gill netters will strip mine a run. Personally I would be more apt to vote for a complete ban on commercial fishing on the Columbia period. If you go into the archives you will see what we were proposing...not bad for a "well organized little group" that didn't follow CCA guidelines. Their are other initives that we want to put forth but the gill nets gotta be first. We even had the backing of the tribes, who were willing to try and work on eliminating gill nets from within the tribes. If thats whats really happening expect to see me get real busy protecting our fish if these guys won't after they said they would.
