1. Thank you for showing your actual knowledge of our fisheries within the LM. Thinking that we will not see a net fishery this fall is comical. Excess hatchery fish should be taken once brood requirements are met. Let FN have all the excess hatchery fish once they reach the hatchery. Netting the lower river will wipe out any wild component in a few cycles unless we have high water and they can’t net.
As per fish fish getting recycled to the lower river, almost every hatchery system within the US does this practice. I guess our LM First Nation put so much time effort/$ that’s why they are able to take everything from the hatchery
As someone who has been involved with the broodstock program on the Vedder I am very familiar with the hatchery and it’s operation. I can garuntee I have spent more time within this last 6 Months with hatcheries than you have in your lifetime. Trying to lecture me on hatchery protocol is great, please continue with it.
As per relating other fisheries with the “operation” at the Harrison mouth you are grasping at straws trying to stay relevant.
The Harrison fishery has and always been about foreign roe sales.
Dont know why you are comparing other FN fisheries to this? Guessing again you are speaking on stuff you aren’t familiar with.
There has never been a roe fishery on the Vedder.....but there has also never been netting in the fall until this year.
