Fun5: I am trying to remember whom he worked for. Sebastes was with me and perhaps can remember better than me, but I thought it was a tribal enforcement officer.
I know he said he was about to ticket some tribal netters, working near the head of the bay that he was watching with his binoculars. And I THINK I remember him saying he had written a ton of snagging tickets on the river. (He may have said that the state game warden had been writing a ton of tickets.) I will ask Sebastes to help me remember whom he was working for and will let you know his recollection of events.

I do know none of the snaggers we saw appeared to be Indians. In Quilicene it seemed to be a family bonding experience to snag fish. There were entire families out doing it. They were blatant about it. It was so ugly we had to leave. In addition to the hatchery coho they were snagging there were some scarce summer chum mixed in with them. I saw one guy kick a chum back into the river. I wanted to speak up but there were at leaser 30 people just above the bridge and I was a coward.
