It appears that a few have finally noticed the elephant in the living room.

"The Indians didn't overfish the Skagit..." hmmmm.....substitute "Skagit" with a number of other rivers....still think it's true?

Of course they overfish the Skagit! It's not rods and reels that are killing the river.....it's nets! Ever notice the difference between when the nets are "in" and when their "out"? Wave the "Treaty Right" flag all you want.....result is the same.....in-river nets are vicious killers of fish, whether targetted or untargetted species....and when they are drifted the fish are picked right off their spawning beds! Indians don't give a crap about "wild" as we term it. They aren't fishing for sport....they're only after the money and hatchery fish bring as much as wild fish.

Wrong is definitely wrong....and Treaty "Right" is one of them. Legalities be damned....the truth is the truth. And on top of that, until the Native take is strickly monitored, I will not believe that we aren't getting screwed.....even by Boldt outlines.
