Pretty good idea. But when someone pitches to their elected representatives there will probably be dozens of people against it. Even so, it would see pretty easy to separate the carp from the native species.
Probably for more than a month. I caught two of this Keta salmon with a fishing rod once. They were of a similar size and each had over 5 kg, after taking the guts out. One of them was enough to prepare dinner for three persons twice: so six meals each. He caught 10 during this clip. That equals close to 50 kg of good meat.

The problem with that is mostly that they use the Pre-spawn-salmon that they harvest, to feed their dogs. Fish wheels need to go the way of market hunters for buffalo.
Give this man and all the rest of them along the river a wheel and they'll kill the run. The Yukon runs are in trouble, just like the Kuskokwim and Copper Rivers.

Good historical representation of a fish wheel, these were responsible for the decimation of the Columbia river populations. Cool to see one in action, but definitely deserves to be archived.
Actually, because of the mixed stocks in the Columbia River, fish wheels would be a far better tool for commercial harvest than the gil nets used today. Fish can be dropped into a holding pen and sorted without doing much harm, rather than dragging them from the water by their gils after they’ve been struggling in a net for the better part of an hour.
This is much better for the environment compared to basically any other modern commercial fishing methods. You can sort a living and mostly undamaged fish with this method and actually choose what you are harvesting vs "byproduct" killing. The nets used by modern commercial fisherman serrate the tails and fins of fish every time they get removed from the water. Don't blame the method for the results of idiots overfishing. You can overfish using a thousand methods, at least this one does little damage to the fish if you actually chose to sort + release.
