I rarely post here...but holy crap...most of you guys are right on...
what the HELL IS HAPPENING????
here's an easy five point plan.

1. Sportsmen: No killing wild steelhead, period. ever. selective gear only, statewide.

2. State: Actual enforcement of sportsmen - ever fished in BC, Id. or Ore.? you'll get checked - never in Wa. in 28 years of licensed fishing. Classified rivers/licensing system to generate revenues to cover enforcement, etc.

3. Feds: ESA listing as appropriate. Massive pressure / enforcement on tribes.

4. All of us: Massive public relations, PR and lobbying effort for SANE tribal harvest policy / overturn of Boldt...this will cost money. ORGANIZE, DONATE, VOLUNTEER
We're now in the 21st Century and the world has changed. "Usual and Customary" - what a joke... Flame me, but I believe that the tanks should roll in. We're not making treaties with terrorists, and my opinion is that current tribal harvest policy borders on eco-terrorism at worst, theft at best. flame on, hippies.

5. Stay off my river.
