True that. I sat in on a hearing last session regarding a bill to enforce the gill net buy back and ensure nets stay out of the main stem Columbia. The bill was very specific in that it made sure it did not affect tribal fisheries. The tribes still opposed it on the "slippery slope" theory and the yellow politicians tucked tail and ran. My lobbyist friend said another big issue in the legislature is that its hard to find anyone who cares about sportfishing. Between them expressing their collective guilt over historical native oppression, and the viewpoint that commercial fishing is the only way to feed the masses, us sporties are pretty much doomed.
