I tend to agree with your fishery analysis, but the above statement just about made me choke on my coffee..... Who the hell do you think funds the Tribal Programs Einstein?? We do, ergo the Federal and State Govt's... Nothing chaps my arse more than Tribes getting credit for things that are directly tied to taxpayers and Sportsmans $$..... Now if the tribes were taking a large chunk of their gazillions in gambling cash and using it to build fisheries instead of handing it out to people for simply being indian, then I would also heap praise upon them....

You give me zillions in federal/state $$, and I could and would do a lot of really good things....
