RT,
My point was not to lump all WA anglers as killers of wild fish. The point I was trying to make (and I didn't do a good job of it) was, and is that as long as there is a Statewide kill on Wild Fish, it will be hard to remove the nets from the rivers.
I don't have any first hand knowledge of your States tribal netting so I shouldn't have offered an opinion on it. In BC, anglers tend to blame all bad fishing on the Natives, when in reality they cause the resource little harm here. It appears, from all your comments, that they are a more harmful usegroup in your State.
