Well he was, and sorry for steering this thread off in another direction..... but....

I am sure that Robyn (and others) are great people and it is wonderful that he is trying to stop tribal gillnetting. My disgust with that system and support of that tribal fishery is nothing more than the point, that on non-tribal rivers (rivers off the res) they do not have to pay to fish, but on THEIR river we can only fish if we pay. What about the 50/50 deal? If we have to pay to have the pleasure of fishing a river on their reservation, then the Sovereign Nation when off of its border should have to pay equally. Hell, they do not even have to pay launching fee's like we all do. Just plain unfair, and I will not support their interests and/or fisheries until I feel they will support mine... Simple as that... But to you that feel different, no problem. I respect your opinions and I know if Dave and Grandpa like this guy then he must be a great guy....

Regards!
