I've heard a lot of talk lately about NT Commercial inland fishing, like in Puget Sound and the Columbia River. I was actually at a Commission meeting where there were guys giving testimony that any reductions in commercial fishing was going to be the ruin of many commercial fishermen because they depend on it as a livelihood.

I'm just curious if anyone has any idea how many Commercial Fishermen actually use fishing as a main source of income? It seems to me that it would be a pretty speculative career given the current state of the fisheries. Sort of like being a buggy whip manufacturer after the invention of the automobile.

Just curious....
