Minimizing the use of nets in waterways will ensure the survival of salmon and other fish for many generations to come, allowing this abundant food source given to us by Mother Nature to be harnessed and enjoyed by our future parents. With food sources now readily available, net fishing should be reevaluated as follows: who is allowed to fish with nets, what their purposes are, and what effect this will have on tributary fishing populations.
