I was out at the Newcastle Park Wednesday around noon. The park faces the lake and the East side of Mercer Island. Me and my daughter were there riding bikes and flying a kite.LOL

We saw a small barge that said "Muckleshoot" on the side of it, and what looked like a small lift of some sorts and one of those giant rollers that trucks haul fiberoptic cable around with that what appeared to be a net of sorts connected to it. There was also a small tug, or pilot boat driving around it in circles. I assumed they were netting. Later on a much larger boat pulled up next to it and I think they were offloading fish.

Earlier in the week we were out for a boat ride around the lake with a few friends and saw the same barge with nets on it parked under the east high-rise of the I-90 bridge on the west side of mercer island.

In my opinion I think letting the Tribes net is a joke considering they are the ones making the decision along with the WDFW.
