thanks for adding some insight into this Bob...

pacificnw sounds like a tribal member to me.

This notion that the tribes are not touchable by WDFW is not so. We as a state are being way too PC and suffering immensely for it. Things have gone way overboard in favor of the tribes.

I think one way to stop this is for the state of Washington to legalize gambling and bring in Las Vegas interests to compete directly with the tribes. Overwhelm the tribes with competition and shut down their monopoly of gambling. Stop giving the tribes any money from the federal treasury and put fences around their reservations with border crossings for them to go through from their sovereign nation into the USA. If they want their own nations so be it. If they want to assimilate into our society then they need to start acting like citizens and not a cocky group of outsiders dictating how our society functions to serve their interests. The tribes have not proven to be true comanagers of our fisheries but adversaries with a seat at the table taken by force.

I suspect the citizens of this country will wake up soon to the lopsided treaty situation and do something about it. Until then every sports fisherman should document the abuses every chance they get. Publish photos whenever possible. Show the proof and shut down people lilke pacificnw who are so far out of touch it is incredible.

BOB ..maybe you can repost the photos from last season.
