Thats a good question JoJo and truthfully I don't have an answer. Perhaps an act of Congress or Executive order. The big problem I have with it is simply that most tribal fishing is done with the Gillnet. I really don't want to see tribal fishing stopped, just the way they do it. Whats wrong with using fish Wheels and Traps like they do for subsistence fishing on some off the rivers in Alaska I have seen?

Here's what really cracks me up, and yes I know about this first hand. Where I live tribal members will actually take a leave of absence from their "dealer" job at the casino so they can fish (gillnet) every species of Salmon in the Duwamish and Lake Washington and then when its all over complain about the lack of money they made!

I guess they haven't heard the phrase......."don't quit your day job"
