Just a quick question for fishingfool, when you say "BAN ALL GILL NETS" and speak of buying back the net permits are you actually referring to "ALL GILL NETS" including tribal nets? I don't know much about the tribal licensing policy so I'm not sure if they have permits/licenses like commercial fisheries or not. If this is what you are referring to then I'd gladly stand in a long line to pay much more than the $25 to see that happen. If you believe these tribal nets have a right to be used then no offense but I think you're screwed in the head. I say this especially when these nets are being used in river systems where wild fish runs are weak. A net doesn't know the difference between a wild fish and a hatchery and these nets don't allow the safe and harmless release of non-targeted species.

Just my .02
