The tribes , indeed, are very responsible for helping to restore the Sockeye fishery in Lake Washington. This is not a fishery that is native to the lake but is a fisheries that was planted there and it depends on sustaining support. With that said , I oppose the fishery outside the locks in the salt. This skews the fish counts for sure and gives a really false outlook on the real run strength. Different tribes fish outside the locks. The Muckleshoots are the ones helping with fish counts and such. Some of them fish in the ship canal as there are many historical "sites" along the canal. The fish are not historic to the canal but the tribes fish for many species that they did not historically harvest at the time of the treaties in 1855. In Alaska, for example the tribes are getting increasingly higher percentages of the King crab catch. Do you suppose they fished the remote Bering sea for those crabs in the 19th century? Did they fish for Sockeye in Lake Washington then? No.
