[quote lumas]Actually the nets have only been in the water one time so far. They did not allow them to net the fist two scheduled dates because of low numbers of chinook and high numbers of steelhead in the test nets. They did net last tuesday and will net again tomorrow and the following Tuesday and thats it. The fishing however is getting really good in the columbia with limits for alot of boats. This morning my buddy limited in an hour. I think there is still a chance for some big numbers. Just wait for the numbers at the damn to get crazy around the 3rd week of the month.[/quote]
I agree that this run is not dead, but in order for it to hit the 450,000 that were predicted (and the wild fish impacts were set on...) we would need a lot of 20,000 fish over Boneville days in a hurry. I just hope we get the numbers to justify the liberal allocations to both sporties and netters in the LCR. I would be really happy if we got to fish the full seasons in Idaho this year.
