Until we do away with commercial and tribal fishing we will just continue down the road to extinction.
I agree. It's a fish grab and supporters of this ruling just want to make sure they get "the last fish".

Just like Rob's shining example. As it is now there is a 5 fish limit per YEAR and I'd even be willing to reduce that number. The person that Rob was talking most likely kills more than five fish a week.

Our rivers should be managed on an individual basis, this blanket policy just assures that this rulings supporters and the tribes GET THE LAST FISH!
