I wil have to agree that there are alot of fisheries that are there only because the differrant tribes have spent the money the state doesnt.They also have large amounts locked up into legal battles that in the long run,would benifit us.The skokes and the lisencing of the n.fork damn comes to mind.The george adams hatchery you guys all love is there to meet the treaty agreaments with the skokes,not for your snagging fun.Same with the majority of the chum fisheries here in this state.

Sometimes I have to laugh.People always defend there right to keep the last fish because if I don't the indians will.Or I will stop when the indians do.I think this same hatered is what drives some of these indian families to exersice there rights the way they do.

We came into this beautiful country,set up caneries,just about decimated every run in the great northwest,proceeded cutting all the trees down,damn up all the rivers,but its them f@%* indians that are responsible.
