If we all would think about it, These rivers all belonged to the Native americans at one time. We are all lucky that we can fish it without an Indian guide. All of these rivers could very easily be just like the Quinalt. Just be happy to be able to fish. I have a permit to fish that river. I buy one every year and it comes with a punch card too. So lets not argue on who fishes wear. I am sure that there are plenty of people that go from the Nooch area up to Neah Bay or to Buoy 10 or somewhere on the Columbia. You dont want that taken away from you, Do You?
