Aunty M,
 

That’s kind of funny when you said "Guides who love to fish and get others into fish should NOT be taken to task in a fishing forum. And coming from you it is especially ludicrous to me"

I just read CFM's profile. Isn't the Cowlitzfisherman a retired fishing guide of over ten years? Who else would know as much as him on this subject? What better place could there be than this board to discuss guide related issues? He has informed the board of some double standards that most of us were not even aware of. I for one, am very thankful for his input about tribal fishing, because he really doesn't appear to be attacking the Indians. Instead he has just made many of us aware of some very unbalanced laws that I was not even aware of.

I did not think that he was attempting to bash anyone, nor did any of his posts suggest that. If the Indian guides are not counting there catch, how will or state fisheries ever know if they had harvested their share of the allotted fish? Maybe they aren't getting enough, or maybe there getting to much. How would we ever know?

It would appear that you may me be just a little bias in favor of the tribes, whereas CFM is just stating the facts about some double standards. I really enjoy both of your guys post, but I have to tell you that this time CFM is in the right. It appears that you are the only one who has questioned and opposed what CFM has posted about the double standards that he has uncovered. I for one like to hear facts and then I will decide who is the most knowledgeable about the issue at hand.

You do know how to put up a good fight for what you believe in! When you and CFM get together on the same issues, this board better watch out!!!!
