I think education of the general "nonfishing" public is needed. Most folks who don't fish think that the poor indians need to be allowed to net fish for food. Poor things.
I agree with you on this one Grandpa, 100%. The folks that are going to go to the public and make a case, however, are going to need to know where the treaties came from, what their legal status is, numbers of fish being netted, documented abuses, info from scientists analyzing what's going on and what's going to happen, etc.

If we go off half-cocked like sportfishermen did 30 years ago, well...remember what happened 30 years ago?

We will lose if for a second we look like we're coming off as anti-Indian, and anti-treaty rights. We must come off as pro-resource, pro-ecosystem protection, and discuss the economics of the situation.

Fish on...
