I'm not saying we sporties don't have an impact. On the whole, (going out on a limb here) we sporties are law abiding citizens that truly care about the resource & practice conservation when able.

My point is that the methods & location of tribal fisheries & distain for cooperating (marking of hatchery fish, nets & more nets completely across rivers where threatened fish migrate, selling wild fish roadside, SHALL I CONTINUE???)

Agencies that are charged with the responsibilities of allocation, protection, enhancement etc. continually in my book fall short of the mark. Can you answer this question?? Who continually gets the short end stuffed as high as it will go? We do. We continually get asked to pay more & give up even more. Less access, less time, less opportunity, etc. etc. Not to say that there aren't a few shining exceptions (Columbia Springers & Halibut tonnage this year). In general, over & over, it is the Sporties who get shafted.
