Kore cant answer for the makahs buddy but it sounds like poaching to me.Try calling the local game warden or tribals i dont know.Aerofly the run was bigger than they expected and the hatchery and river did get their escapement.the 6000 to 1000 this is where it gets complicated add in the soos creek fishery and the blackmouth fishery out to the straits and the adult chinook fishery out in the straits it evens out.You would be very surprised at how much the green river chinook contributes to these fisheries.The nets in elliott bay were for coho.The tribe has coho net pens over there where we release about 600,000 fish all marked for everybody to catch.Very succesful as you probably know.I wish them guys would have brought them seals to the dock,my uncle makes damn good drums out of them,says they taste good too!NOT FOR ME.All of the net pen fish are mass marked so they are all harvestable.I dont think you can pay the muckleshoots enough not to fish.But like i said before never say never.Did you catch a lot of those coho over there i hope so.by the way escapement for green river coho was probably around 100,000 fish 43,000 hatchery the rest in river and tribs.
