From today's Seattle Times:

"We voluntarily restricted our fisheries for many years in response to depressed salmon abundance. The public should look at our increased chinook catch this year as evidence that our sacrifices are paying off, and that state and tribal salmon recovery efforts are working." Ben Johnson Jr., Makah Tribal Chairman

Please someone tell me this guy doesn't really expect for us to buy this poop!


Ok, I admit I've been on and off of this board for a few years now and have lived and fished in WA my whole life; and I still haven't joined a local fishing club. Time to get involved, Sno-King PSA here I come. I'll be at the next March mtg. in Edmonds. I'll try introducing myself to you Grandpa.
