I'm not well versed on the proposed ban,what is the harvest of these Set Net sites?
The set netters target sockeyes. KRSA is trying to ban set nets in "urban" areas, primarily Cook Inlet east side. These set nets are a big tool for F&G to control sockeye escapement into the Kenai River.
Their claim is that too many Kings are caught. The problem with their logic is that the early run of kings (May-June) has really dropped off but set netters don't fish then.
