Ohe Mixed Baq
With Elliott Msteslf

Excessive net fishing by In
dians in the Nisqually river 10
blamed by veteran Tacoma steel
head anglers for the marked
scarcity of the big trout in that
once favored stream.
Because Of the federal treaty
pertaining to Indians fishing
rights on the Nisqually, the In
dams are permitted to net and
sell commercially the steelhesd
trout.
The fish, however. cannot be
sold in the state Of Washington.
which classifies It for what 1t
is "a true trout.
But, Oregon. which classifies
the steelhead as a salmon" and
a commercial fish, provides the
market which induces the In
dians TO fish 30 excessively. day
and night set nets. drift nets.
Trucks collect the trout on the
reservation and transport them
TO Oregon where they are sold
on the public market.
The veteran steelheaders, who
blame this commercial angle OF
things for the poor steelhead
producing results this year. and
who insist they have seen this
situation approaching slowly but
surely. have a remedy.
WORK WITH OREGON
They suggest that Washing
ton sportsmen lobby among their
brothers in Oregon to have the
steelhead in that state classified
as a game fish.
That, they say, would elimin-
ate the market now available
and end the concentrated netting
Of the Nisqually steelhead.
Anglers insist the steelhead
trout il inferior Tor smoking or
purposes other than fresh meat
for the public market.
While there is little doubt that
this netting Of the Nisqually
steelhead has and will create
havoc among the annual runs.
IL Is possible runs may return.
Indians or no.
Anglers say the Nisquslly this
year. however. il the worst they
have seen IL for steelhead pro-
duction.
Even the Indians. anglers
point out. admit this but only
wsg their heads when discussing
the subject.
Other streams. anglers make
plain. are producing unlimited
sport now that the season il at
its peak.
But keep this much In nssad.

have played their part In this

quslly.
