Krijack, Hopefully your post is not as totally naive as it appears. EVERYONE who has even cursory knowledge of the REAL fish management in this state know's that the Tribes are calling ALL the shots.

Go back and look at the posts on "Opening the North of Falcon Meetings"

You will clearly see all the truth's laid bare. The WDFW is completely subservient to the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission. Ron Warren and Mike Grossmann have kissed the collective Tribes as$'s so much that they probably have permanent Gold Card status at all the casinos. The money that "gushes" into the politicians coffers guarantees that nothing will change, no matter how much the recreational community cries and gnash their teeth.

ONLY LOUD,PROLONGED, FOCUSED AND UNITED PROTESTS WILL WORK! AND ONLY IF WE ALL ARE WILLING TO CALL THE BLUFF OF THE TRIBES AND LOSE A SEASON OR TWO.

We came close, very close in our champaign to break the strangle hold that the tribes have when we went after the secrecy of the North of Falcon. Unfortunately, true to form, the recreational community did what they do best, which is splinter up and bitch behind a keyboard instead of action.
