heavyhawk,
You bring up a good point about public relations. Why are tribes so uncaring about their own public image? I pose a question to anyone out there: is the amount of $ generated by exploiting native steelhead runs even remotely equivalent to the amount of increased revenue that could be generated (in casinos, for example) with a better public image? After all, the economic viability of netting wild steelhead is laughable. Anyone dispute that fact?
