You of all people should know that the Lake Washington Sockeye are an imported non-native species to Lake Washington. They were planted there years ago long after all the tee pees were taken down around the lake. There are also "usual and accustomed" fishing "sites" on the ship canal...( A man made canal).....maybe the tribes fished in ponds there a hundred years ago. I have run into the nets at night in the canal.

With that said I will second the notice of the Muckleshoot tribe's efforts to make a season for Sockeye possible at all. We need to thank that tribe for what we have today.

The non-tribal commercials have made a loud noise at the North of Falcon process so far this year and I suspect that the same political pressure they are so good at exerting is at work here. Also the tribes already net out in area 10 for Sockeye in July ..before the fish are counted. Just think how great it would be to add a bunch more nets outside the locks...probably at night too so none of the non fishers could see the spectacle and get upset. I think gill netting under the cover of darkness is complete chicken **** garbage and only shows how spineless these scumbags are.
