Yeah that's a pretty major factor in the equation too, along with where the natives have set their nets :(

Yep, the FN set nets take ALL the fish. At least they have for the last 150 years. ::) ::) ::) Ever heard of commercial openings by non-natives in the Fraser and the aproaches from the Juan De Fuca etc??? They take nothing, right??

:)  Naw, the commercial guys just clean out the WHOLE river...not just one channel :(

Native set nets in the channel below Laidlaw. The other channel didn't have that problem.  So, yes, they DO, and yes the commies DO as well :D

gmoney,  parked the car in the lot.  Walked over to gong island on the lower end of the river.  Was fishing between BN, Fish4Life,  DS etc. If you just made sure the guy and or two below you cast first,  and make sure the guys several above you were ready to reel in,  you wouldn't be in any trouble while shoulder to shoulder.  Learned that in gong show 101.  That system reduces the simultaneous fish-on by an upstream and downstream angler  ;)

It was the best when we were fishing as a group in line... we would litterly go ok, bro, go ahead and cast, then dad, then me etc.  we very rarely got caught up with another person.
