"Plus, how will sporties ever approach the tribes to decrease netting when we are continuing to directly harvest them (is that a better term for you?)? That'll go over like a ton of bricks, especially given the track records of the Hohs and Quileutes!"

If we're going to take this stand then lets be clear about that. I would have much less of a problem with that than I do with so many guys pointing fingers in other directions (like at any sport fisher who wants to keep a fish). Also, as you and many other have stated in the past. You would not support the harvest of wild steelhead ever for any reason. That mentality concerns me.
