    Could you please include descriptions(easy & clear) of the Columbia River gillnet fishery zones on your site in the near future. The ODFW descriptions are difficult to decifer, and the Washington Depts aren’t any better, plus there is a conflict in regard to zone 5 as to how many miles below Bonneville Dam is correct. HELP!
