before I get bashed i want it to be perfectly clear that I am all for wild steelhead release per say but what the tribes do and are doing will not change case in fact- as the grays harbor native fish returns are increasing so is the netting and qoate allocation to tribes been increasing just look at the matter of fact fomulas!! the tribes see these statistics and are taking advantage of the scientific data to increase their catch even though it is and has been catch release for the sportsman for years. Now my opinon and mind you it is just my opinion that it will continue to be the same in other river systems as the resource does improve! I have asked many questions to the management resources of the rivers on the O.P. for example that do the surveying and decision making for determination of health of different runs and have asked their opinions of what will mosy likely happen with the proofof increased survival rates and catch allocations and thr response has been that the net quates will be increased if runs are increasing. Now I do not want to get into a he said she said scenerio but I have been talking to biologist for the tribes that tends to agree with me but yes this is just a maybe what is in store for the future I sure hope not!!!PEACE
