Talking about the Boldt Decision is a major departure from the actual topic of this thread, but I think that Salmo g. wrapped it up nicely already...

"I understand. I think we both know that in the real world, life just ain't fair, and like it or not, that's just the way it is."

Might there be some wiggle room to modify the treaty interpretation? Sure...maybe a lot of it...but with limited time, energy, and resources to affect changes in fisheries management (which is about 80% putting fires out), I'll leave that to folks who have thicker skull plates than me...they'll be banging them against brick walls for much, if not all, of their time.

If someone else can get that done, I'll be all for it, and I'll support them all the way...but I've got plenty of work to do in arenas that are actually in motion every day.

Fish on...
