It seems like we're all forgetting that much of this issue has to do with principle. I'll explain: for the moment, the tribes are going to net because it's their right. The first step toward amending that is taking care of our end of the deal. Bottom line is that the tribes kill fish but so do sportsmen. As long as we are killing fish yet criticizing the tribes for doing the same thing, we're being hypocritical. When statewide catch-and-release of all nates goes into effect, we'll be in a position to criticize the tribes. It's really as simple as that. I don't believe any wild steelhead should die, and the commercial slaughter appauls me. But we can't begin fixing the problem there. We start by releasing all the natives WE catch. It's amazing how simple it really is.
