Reply to grampa..... Sic'em! We all know NOW who is responsible for the decline of steelhead in our lifetime....the tribes aren't the only cause of steelhead mortality.... corporations and commercials are equally to blame. Granted, the tribes rape and pillage on a scale which, by comparison, is tenfold to what the commercial and corporate( corporate meaning industrial) entities are doing. It seems that you are very passionate when speaking of tribal outrages with regards to OUR fish, and in the past, I think you have mistakenly come to believe that I am a supporter of tribal fishing rights that are screwed up thanks to the dear departed judge Boldt. I think the tribes have rights to sustenance fishing only, not the outright profiteering and slaughter that they so eagerly persue. I made a statement on an earlier post that I believed the tribes were doing their fair share of trying to conserve the resource, but I was sadly misinformed. To this I humbly admit, and hope that in the future, I will not be so easily swayed. I believe that NOONE should harvest wild steelhead.
