Hey Chumsalmon,

Answers to your questions. Yes, the tribe can and does catch and keep the Fall Chinooks they get and with the state's blessings. No, spring Chinook are not included and are a hands off species, although last year the run was amazing. One more reason why I think the state has "its head up its $#@". Don't get me wrong I'm not that interested in keeping any of them anyway but when you can go down to the river and catch ten fish or more in a few hours in different holes it make you wonder how endangered they really are. Yes you did see my old sled on the corner of Alabama and James. Funny thing happened on that boat. I got a call the night before I picked up my new boat from a guy who wanted to see it. So I told him I was picking up a new boat tommorrow and could show it to him in the afternoon. So I went and got my new boat in the morning and SOLD my old one to this guy in the afternoon on the same day. Was it meant to be or what? The new boat is lots of fun and has been a super fishing machine. The only complaint I have is I wish I had a bigger motor. In the Nooksack it's fine but you get on the bigger rivers like the Skagit and Fraser and I tend to run it full throttle which probably isn't that good for it. Next motor will be a bigger one, care to buy a used Merc 90 HP?
