Nativepride,
Always enjoyed your post on this board keep up the ensightful posts.
I have a question for you being that you are a Native American fisherman. I would like an honest and insightful answer if possible because I think I'm treading in a new area or idea. So here it is.

If there was funding for the building of modern fish traps for the tribes and if there was an established market for the 50% of hatchery fish you are allowed at more than $3.00 a pound as long as all native fish were released from the traps to make their journey up river to spawn. Would you as a fisherman be interested?
Looking forward to any responses.
Steve Wrye.
