Here's an idea for a new fee for the WDFW I'd seriously be willing to pay. $100.00 a year for a buyout program split at 75% Tribes to 25% WDFW funding. The tribes would be required to furnish accurate and verifyable financial reports to base the buyout on.

At 10,000 licenses times $100.00, that is a million bucks. That should pay for about 375 tons of fish at $1.00 a pound. eek

And the department gets to put away $250,000.00 for themselves in the deal.

Any better ideas being tossed around? rolleyes
