Double Haul,

I knew thats what happened the whole time.

There are strong ties between many of the WDFW employees and the tribes,

I made someone mad once when I made a comment about this but it is true.

1 fish is worse than 5 a year, as soon as the 1 fish a year came out and the tribes had a back door meeting before the decision I knew what happened.

I also agree with you a hundred percent that if the Mortorium stood the WDFW would have had no choice but to go to court. The truth is they didnt want to go to court because they are friends with the tribes. You see the tribes and the WDFW have much in comman. They agree on the science and management that is used and dont see a need for change. To both groups hatcherys are the answer not perserving wild fish.

Thats the truth like it or not, we have a bunch of pukes working for us down in Olympia Taking care of our fish and wildlife. 75% of them got their start with the tribes and have strong ties.
