The laws of this state should be applied evenly to all, regardless of the origin of their ancestors. The Indian American's nets can't distinguish between a Brat or a Nat so he catches both and sells them for $5 a piece at the dock on the Chehalis in Aberdeen. Doesn't even charge more for the Nat. He can do this in broad daylight with absolutely no fear of any punishment at all. No sales tax collected or paid. Yes I believe in their treaty rights but I don't think that the state should turn a blind eye to them and throw the book at someone else for the same offense. And no, I’m not a poacher sticking up for other poachers. I haven’t had a bite of stealhead yet this season and I did catch one Nat. If I have to buy one to eat it will have to come out of the Quinault.
