Aunty,

Saying that if you get to release a fish that made it past tehn nets and release it to spawn successfully Is not an arguement pertaining to the reason the anti law change people are against it.

You people keep on arguing like people against this law are just a bunch of meat heads, but not a single one of you has been able to debate the reason we are truly against this law! I posted very strong "FACTS" that evidently people her do not want to address or cannot comprehend.

What were pissed about is that through the Stevens treaties and the Boldt decision the tribes can now petition the state for the harvestable fish that we are now not taking. I have posted the paragraphs twice. The state cannot deny the tribes there RIGHT to the harvestable fish. Those are indestbutable FACTS! That I will post again if needed. What this means is that more of those fish that you were planning on letting go anyways are now going to end up in nets, not on the end of Aunties pole so she can let them go.
Saying that we can put more pressure on the indians now is a bunch of huey. We have no leg to stand on, the tribes will always have the right to harvestable fish, And if there are harvestable fish we should have the privilage to decide whether or not to let them free or keep them. Nets dont make decisions like that.

The Take of harvestable wild steelhead has not been stopped or slowed down. The only thing that has changed is whos taking them.
