One problem is that the news media is always going side with the tribes and what a raw deal they are getting. The non fishing public eats this up and WDFW and rec anglers get a bad rap. The tribes have done a good job of putting out TV programs and newspaper articles telling the public about their plight. Muckleshoots TV spots. Telling the news outlets how WDFW and rec anglers are destroying the wild runs. Remember in November the QIN telling the Seattle Times (?) how WDFW was destroying the wild coho run in the Chehalis system by keeping sportfishing open in November when they (QIN) had quit netting to preserve the wild fish? When the recs knew they quit netting because of low fish prices. Th general non rec public eats this stuff up.
