In 2004 the expected run size of Sockeye in Lake Washington is to be 700,000 fish. No season? I bet that fishery will bring in so much money into our economy it would be a shame to play politics with it. The tribes will get their 1/2 without contributing much of anything except to their own pockets.

When WDFW stops dancing on the strings of commercial fishing puppet masters and stands up to the tribes THEN and only then should they deserve more money to waste.
