I dont know all the details but from what I have heard the WDFW gave all fish above minimum escapement to the tribe for comercial harvest. Sport harvest and CnR impact is suposed to come out of the minimum escapement 2400 fish. Meaning the river is going to be managed for under escapement.

The tribe can nett as many days a week as it takes to harvest predicted # of fish over minimum escapement.

This happened 2 days prior to the commision making its decision on the 1 fish per year.

If this is true the WDFW just set precidence they gave the Hoh tribe twice what the boldt decision gave them and forgone opportunity didnt even have to be claimed.

It appears the state gave our fish away to stay out of court.
