WSU...pretty much felt the same way, unfortunately.

I wonder how the Treaty Tribes will respond to the proposed closures of certain steelhead/salmon hatcheries? Also if there is any actual legal speak regarding the Tribes "lost opportunity" that will require the State to keep supporting some of these dismal hatchery releases/returns; and more specifically geared towards one user group? Maybe some Tribes will just be able to "subcontract" the operation of the hatcheries from WDFW (gotta be some "free" BIA $$$ out there??)? I realized quite awhile ago that if it wasn't for the Tribes, our WA salmon/steelhead would have been virtually wiped out by the end of the 70's.
