BTW when you were flying around looking at those nets did you notice the
clear cuts? The country south of Olympic National Park looks like some of
the photos of Brazil. All those bare areas on virtulaearth.com aren't potato
fields or cow pastures.

Watch you local stream for that 6,000 sq ft. "log home", no
tresspassing signs and speeding SUVs. It won't really matter as the
only fish left will be in the Seattle Seaquarium.

BJ,
I read the article and I don't see at all where you get 80%. As in most
things environmental policy wise it will entirely depend on how this is
implemented. If you want to make real difference in Pacific NW salmon
stocks get rid of the nets. Used to fly the radar pattern around NAS
Whidbey over the two forks of the Skagit and the miracle was that any
fish ever made it up the river for all the nets.
