Recent talk have severely impacted the sport saltwater fishery.

This is a picture posted by the tribe of the Indians opening for spring chinook

What’s wrong with this picture..? Besides it don’t seem fair…..

No clipped fin ?

No face paint .....lol

Looks like a sockeye to me.

Not a king
I

So what's the story that came with the picture? Maybe that it's way too early for sockeye to be showing up?

Today was the lummi Indian opener for king harvest

This is a photo of the first of the kings harvested.
Posted on their own information page

Maybe just a bad picture, but can't see any spots on the tail, among other things.
Regardless, doesn't say much about fish management if they think a "king" of that size is something to brag about.

Wildlife fish not hatchery. Most sport fishing does not allow wild fish to be kept. Those wilds are left for the natives. Gill netted they don't survive well after being released anyway.

Aren't they all hatchery fish by now ?

Unclipped are faux wild for political mind games

Co-management. Do you think they are going to arrest themselves if they break the rules they set?
