Title: Gill net marks on coho
Post by: dave c on October 21, 2013, 03:25:08 PM: Yesterday I caught a hatch doe that had Gill net marks on her. I'm curious as to how this could have happened . I wasn't aware of any openings for gill netting.

Post by: Dave on October 21, 2013, 09:29:33 PM: Johnny Canuck nailed it - photos are needed to confirm this fish is indeed a victim of a gill net, or perhaps, as coho are want to do, a rolling, frantic effort to escape an angler. Line marks often look like net marks.
