Probably went for a buck a pound....what a bargain! With the low flows this year the tribes should really pound the nates! What was that I heard earlier in the year about the tribes concentrating on brats and laying off the nates. More smoke. The way I see it now....

Wild Steelhead gene pool = 0
Tribal Leadership IQ pool = nearing 0

I'm sorry, I can no longer respect Washington Tribes for their sellout of the wild steelhead. I'm certain there are tribal members that disagree with what is happening to the wild steelhead (and I respect them) but since the tribes as a whole support widespread netting of nates (given nates fragile existence and low market value).....I have little that's positive to say about the tribes. Given that sport steelheaders would payoff the tribes to layoff steelhead in general and nates specifically...my opinion will not change until the tribes relent on commercially netting nates.
