If You See This Creepy Fish, Cut Its Head Off
The invasive northern snakehead, which has recently been appearing in Missouri and other states, must be eradicated, officials say.

First of all the link between fishing and madness predates clothes. ......Fishing the Island of the Dead - Sporting Classics Daily

Yup. I watched dude explain everything yesterday. Very small quota like 7000? Only fishable for 2 days here 2 days there but once the 7000 is hit it’s over even if it’s that first weekend. And I do believe that we will have a complete closure up on the rivers yet again.
Have you been given an honest answer why the low Salmon returns or is it always "Climate change"?
Alaska is having the same problem - villagers have not been "allowed" to fish for their traditional food supply for years & guess what the real answer is?
Commercial fishing trawler by-catch. By law these ships have to discard all but the targeted species (Pollock usually, can't do without our Mc-D's fish sandwich). It's disgusting, while they claim "mid-water trawling is sustainable" the truth is they are plowing hard on the bottom killing everything including crab of all kinds, all fish they catch, halibut, salmon, Orca's, other whales, sea lions, seals etc. . . In addition the damage the nets cause to the bottom is akin to a 200+ yard wide plow completely roto tilling/destroying the ocean floor (it is observable from space!).
Politicians won't do anything about it because guess who's one of their biggest lobbyist doners?
The entire west coast would do well to recognize this & band together to ban it - They are fishing in Alaskan waters and not PNW because they have already cleaned that place out.
Oh, and Salmon are pelagic and the fish caught in Alaska now could very well be ones that might have spawned down there.

It is my understanding they will always return to the place they were hatched at...?

Not 100% but usually. Like, we’ll get some Coleman hatchery fish up in the Feather. Same with Nimbus.
Returns were horrible last year and the year before etc, and was most likely due to low, warm flows the couple/few years before. We got plenty water in the main damned up rivers to release for the salmon runs but they gotta also release for the farmers and to keep brackish water from forming in the Delta. Usually not a problem when we have many consecutive regular wet years. But being that these rivers are put and take, if the hatcheries don’t get enough returning, there isn’t many to put in. It’s all fucked up.Have you been given an honest answer why the low Salmon returns or is it always "Climate change"?

They usually do, but those 3, 4 and 5 years salmon spend at sea make them vulnerable to ocean trawlers hundreds or thousands of miles away from their home river.
It sounds like they are just catching & throwing them back, but the truth is there is almost a 100% mortality rate once they get smashed into the "money bag" (AKA cod end) at the end of the net.
This is Commercial Trawl.
This is Trawl bycatch.

Nervous Water - Sporting Classics Daily
A father and son are finally reunited, on a secluded lake high in the Colorado Rockies. On a clear June morning, I took my father bass fishing into the Colorado Rocky Mountains. I had not seen or spoken to him in ten years. We ate an early breakfast at a truck stop on the outskirts

I hope he has access to a certified scale and a witness, if he needs the IGWA (International Game & Wood Association) form I can provide.
