This is too cool. All this open and flowing communication.
Longreleaser, I agree that we paid for and continue to pay for these hatcheries. They are a mitigation issue that for the most part keeps the tribes off the water during the chinook and coho migrations. The Tulalips harvest kings and coho in Tulalip Bay, The Stilly tribe harvest kings in the upper stilly to avoid the wild fish. As I said earlier, the tribes are an easy target for us because the nets are easy to see. What we don't see is what goes on behind the scenes. I also said that they have their problem children just like we do. Lets quit *****ing about the tribes and get our own house in order first. Then we have the moral/ethical/legal highground to stand on. Lets also open discussion with the tribes and attempt to work with instead of against them. It will only work in our interests.
Just my thoughts.

Tight lines,
