But the Muckleshoot Tribe apparently has said no to allowing a fishery.

"We're stuck, and we got a rejection from the Muckleshoots even though the Suquamish agreed with us on the fishery," Pattillo said. "This year we tried to come up with a rational way to get a fishery for those chinook and tried to get it done earlier with the tribes to go forward with it.

"We felt it was a responsible fishery, and what we got was their flat rejection with no rationale."


Another classic tribal negotiation tool....NO! And the reason for it: Because they can and WDFW doesn't do anything but roll over the barrel....
