For a long time, WDF Shellfish folks ignored what was happening in Salmon. Then, when the Tribes got into shellfishing they got "surprised". One of their (Shellfish's) ideas was to create essentially"Hatchery Beaches" where the shellfish would be significantly enhanced just for Tribal fishing. Tribes, at least some, wanted nothing to do with it because it meant sharing U&A. I had heard that at least some of the arguments for expanding salmon U&A were they fished while canoeing to harvest other resources.

One of the intersting aspects is that, at least back in early Boldt Years, that the Yakama U&A included a bit of PS as they came down the Nisqaully to fish here. Seemed odd that that would be enshrined in the Decision while other Tribe's strong connnections (I think Nisqually and Quinault) were not.
