How will this effect Bigfoot?
The real reason that the Salmon are declining is that the local Indian tribes are allowed to use gill nets at the mouth of the river. They claim it as an ‘ancestral right’ to harvest the Salmon as the forefathers did. The problem is that they do not use the same method of weaving tree roots etc. together to make nets then swim across the river dragging the heavy net risking being drowned in the rapid current. The new method is to back up their new 4WD to the river's edge and shoot a rocket-propelled net to the other side, sit down and have some beers and winch the net in at the end of the day. Then off to market, sell your take and go to McDonalds and stop for more beers. Few Salmon escape this high-tech manner of “fishing”, therefore fewer make it to their spawning areas.
