I think someday the tribes and the fishermen well have to band togather to keep fishing rights in general. But the netting 3/4 across the river from on bank, and the netting 3/4 across from the other bank 10 yards apart, is just taking advantage of the returns alittle to much, abaned nets!!, the tribes choose the days to fish and then some, Ive seen purse seiners 7 days a week for weeks out side the samish. The battles to close the hatcherys keeps limiting the areas to catch/keep a fish for the fishermen but the tribe net when and where they want...I understand its all part of the original treaty but things are changing and its time for the tribes to see that they are taking fish from there own grandkids way of life. I have heard and witnessed the "because we can" practice that I think turns fishermen off the most....I was very pro-indian prior to moving to washington,,,but now Im not so sure, I think the tualip tribe does well with its bubble fishery, but reports of the tribes netting for example the rivers during low water when it was closed for sport fishing is a good example of my soap box....I keep optomistic on the tribes seeing the light...DJ
