What to do with 20,000 Chinook?: Steelheader.net- Steelhead, Salmon and trout fishing

HAHA!!! This is freakin' awesome! Too bad I am not in Skagit County still, because I would setup a lawn chair and watch the gamies rake in the cash from the "ass rippers" during low tide, then bust out the shiney blue and green metal as the tide rushed. Then fish until my arms tired out or the tide went out again.

From The 2008/2009 Regs: "Samish River Gear Rules - Stationary Gear Rule is in effect August 1 through December 31 on the Samish River. The line, weight, lure, or bait must be moving (not stationary) while in the water."

If you've ever stopped by the ditch in low tide, you know exactly what I am talking about. It's gonna be THICK with fish in high tide (thicker than normal) for the spooners.

Sorry if I am late, but I just got back in Washington a couple weeks ago, so this is news to me!

Ya, I know, they are going to slightly twitch their rig every few seconds to get around the rules, but that'll still reduce the amount of time they can feel a king hit their line and probably spook them in the process.

So the question is, what do you do with 20,000 salmon that are no longer dragged in with a 5/0 hook in their pooper? One big benefit that I see is the Tribes will be able to have a bunch of fish without compromising runs.

lol!
