Don't know the particulars of the salmon split on the Nooksack hwoever you need to remember that the non-tribal fishers catch most of the our salmon long before the reach the river. Sport anglers catch Nooksack salmon as well as most other Puget Sound chinook stocks during the blackmouth seasons as well as most other saltwater fisheries.

If you feel that river fishers are getting the short stick get involved in the salmon season setting process. It is called the "North of Falcon Process". This is were the season are set and how the catches are divided among the various users groups. The commerical and various saltwater groups know how the play the game well and get most of the catch. Historically few river fishermen have bother to become involved in the season setting thus they get only the leavings. WDFW's web site should some be posting dates and locations. Meetings are typically in March and February.
