"So then if you've got a trout pond on your property that you paid to have stocked, should you share half of the fish with the local tribe?"

Yeah, if only! Nope, now were talking private waters. I'm talking public waters. Yes, Squaxin Island is the only place I have fished with net fisherman in the area. I only started fishing in the PacNorWest this year. From what it sounds it is similar everywhere.

Like I said, I think they do a fine job and my exposure to tribal fishing is very, very limited. So far I have had a ball fishing for salmon and did pretty good. I am really looking forward to next year!
