I seem to recall hearing last season that some Indian tribe was allowed to snag lots of springers stacked up near the Icicle hatchery ladders. Was this a tribe belonging to the Federated Tribes of the Columbia region; rep'd by the Columbia Inter-tribal Fish Commission? Which tribe; Yakima? If so, they got to net 13 times more Columbia springers than non-Indian sportfishers got to try to catch. Any word on the likelyhood of another Indian bloody snagfest on the Icicle this season? If so, that will be ugly on ugly!
