Todd, thank you for these informative posts. I have been trying educate myself on these issues and you've really helped. I am coming to believe there are several ways to affect fish recovery. Habitat, reduction of commercial netting and good management of sport and tribal fishing. It seems that while we complain about the tribal fishing and they way they fish it..I'm sure the sheer numbers of sportfishermen take way more than the 50 percent we are allocated by the Bolt decision. On the other hand it is really hard not to get angry when you see the tribes fishing when the resource is impacted ina negative way. I have a degree in envoronmenatl science and all it taught me was that the all of these factors are interrelated in a fairly complex way.

Would that be an accurate, though simplified assessment?

I will be excersizing my non-treaty rights tomorrow..
