Rich -
understand the logic however as I recall a similar idea was floated in the mid-1970s right after the Boldt decision. The legal opinion at the time was that it would not fly as banning the sell of steelhead was in effect denying the Treaty Tribe's fishing rights.

I may have the details wrong - my memory does tend to get foggy at times - maybe Todd or some else has better details. However the logic was similar as that of those behind this proposal - If they can't sell the fish they would/can't fish.

By the way nice to see your regular contributions again -welcome back.
