I dont want to bore anyone with the details about why the tribes fish commercially.
I couldnt have any problem with the tribes fishing for sustenance. That's what the Stevens Treaties and Boldt decision were all about. And at the going rate of $.75 per lb, the tribes have to realize they're doing more harm than good, even to themselves. If they'd cut back, the supply would go down, if demand remains level then the price will go up. They wouldnt have to work so hard or take so many fish to make the same $bucks.
Paying them not to fish would be easy, if (according to some) so much of the $$$ wasnt going up their noses or wherever.
