Keep in mind that thats not a "wish list"... the things I outlined are the way things are here in Idaho. These issues have been handled for years. CR of all wild stocks is 20 years old over here. The tribes can't use nets and they can not keep any wild fish... they can't sell steelhead period.. true story.
In the end, if you could just understand that CR of all wild stocks is the only tool you will ever have if you plan to take on the tribes and commercials in the future. I wonder how good fishing would be if our fish did not get hammered in the C.R by nets.
That Bolt Character really screwed you guys bigtime... Some of the things that happen over there in Washington are so wrong that its totally amazing that they happen at all. When you read about tribes catching salmon and taking the eggs and throwing the fish away etc over there it almost sounds like a B.S story- It would seem that if a national T.V show like 20/20 did a story on things like that it would get stopped dam quick. As I mentioned before, I don't think the people in this country are aware of this abuse of a natural resource. You guys can't get together on anything so let the rest of the country see what your complaining about.... Think that people would care if you showed the whole nation your tribes using wild steelhead for crab bait ??? Its like a crime going on in your backyard.. and its legal
