They have been playing with fire for several years. For what ever the reason a huge portion of the Chiinook and Coho runs have came in early and got up river before the commercial fisheries. If you remember couple years back the NTs pulled in Chum season because Coho were up and Chum prices bottomed out. Had the fish came in with the historical timing the escapement would have given the word ugly a bad name. All this while the key tribal rep is repeatedly in the news paper editorials braying the virtue of conservation and habitat restoration. Gotta give the guy credit for pure gall !!!!!!!

Oh and WDFW is silent which makes them a willing partner.
