If you have documented proof of such activity, then this would probably be something useful to various agencies, institutions and conservation groups.

From my discussions with Salmo_g and others in the fisheries business, this "forgone" opportunity is a sticky wicket that neither the tribes or state want to get near...

From the sportsmens and conservation groups perspective this is something that *must* be addressed, especially if this is going on.

But if all they are doing is increasing the number of days they net and not taking extra fish, that just means they are prolly either pulling the nets out earlier in the day, or getting their quota earlier in the season.
