You all make some valid points concerning our native American friends. As far as I am concerned no one (American citizen's) should have the "right" to snag fish with treble hooks and for that matter net with gill nets either on in land river systems. I really don't care about what someone considers that right due to heritage or what ever. We are all Americans and should have the same rights or privledges. Until the federal gov. gets with the program and understands that treaties written 100 years ago don't apply today then it will alway be like this. Hell, you are either an American or you are not. I think that this differenciation of types of Americans is sad. I find it amazing that 90% of fisherman or citizen are absolutely against mass netting in rivers or snagging but nothing ever happens with it. Something to think about.
