Slab Happy I was referring to the past when I said that they didn't over fish the Skagit. Back when the runs were plentiful Indian fishing was not the the reason for the demise of Skagit river stocks. White commercial over fishing was. That and the two dams on the upper Skagit, Diablo and Gorge which cut off many many miles of habitat on the upper water shed didn't help any.
Please don't think that I, in any way shape of form support in river netting. I don't. I won't even go inside an Indian casino to help support any tribe but many others do. The quickest way to get them to modify their behavior is through their collective wallet.
