And to get the NT gill netters, fishing time. A group, IMO, that should have been eliminated from the Chehalis side and Humptulips side many years ago.

I've said for many postings, that this basin DOES NOT 3 GILL NET FISHERIES. The Qin, the Chehalis tribe, and the the NT'ers.

It's not like the NT fishers do not have options....a very liberal Willapa Bay fishery or take part in the "buy back program".

WDFW, Region 6 and some levels of WDFW upper management are so short sighted, out of touch with current reality, that the coastal salmon and steelhead fisheries will both be in the toilet. One of the worse things to happen in this State, around 1995, combine the 2 agencies responsible for "fish and game", then tip the scales with many Salmon management personnel.....duh move, an now here we are!!!! Grrrrrrrr
