Add item 7 to the list:

7) Cut a tribal fish killing net.

(oops, did I say that -

Definately, habitat is critical to any given species' environment - and the Seattle and surrounding area definately has way too many people in it...but you just can't buy a "people permit" Being new to the area and salmon fishing in general though, I have witnessed many rivers that have perfectly good spawning habitat that simply don't have the fish to do the spawning in the quantities that used to exist. Surely reducing the amount of FISH KILLED by nets would help ensure that the most hardy of the species continues to reproduce???

It seems rediculous to me that the state must introduce hatchery fish into the picture to help the tribes sustain their heritage. I don't think that 'man' has enough knowledge to meddle in such things. JMHO
