Patillo's declaration regarding NOF inequities and forgone harvest by WDFW-managed fisheries shows that on average the sharing of chinook harvest in Puget Sound is about 60:40 in favor of the tribes. Impacts on wild chinook are even more disproportionate... closer to 75:25.

Bottom line, too many fish are being harvested to sustain viable populations... and the state is being bullied into an ever smaller share of that harvest.
