But, there might be a civil process that I'm unaware of wherein the tribe could seize your gear (and maybe your boat). Could be a real mess.


Well, one scenario has WDFW not rescinding its letter (which it should not do in any case) and the tribe not participating in NOF leading to WDFW establishing a 2021 Chinook season and putting the ball back upon DOI. Or tribes en masse boycott NOF putting the ball back on DOI and WDFW submits for its own permit dragging NOAA into the conflict.

Not sure I can afford the popcorn needed to watch that play out.
