Spawnout very nice reply and I agree on nearly all points you made as I have already made the very same ones on this board several times.

The one area that we may disagree on is the location of tribal netting.....except for the Port Gamble fishery at the mouth of the canal all of the remaining tribal netting has been primarily located well to the south of the rivers we both are referring to....and have been so for around 7 years.

As to the topic of this thread I stand by my comments directed at the general subject being discussed. I have a larger question of my own to resolve regarding those rivers and you referred to it already Spawnout. Sadly my decision one way or the other won't likely change the course of history for them. Thanks and let me know when you might be visiting this way.

Peace
