This was a non starter back in the spring. All that has been done since the Muckleshoots called the shots is feel good discussions with sports groups and leaders. The tribe will have their "test fishery" in the lake and take thousands of Kings...all they care about. If they could get away with saying no to all sports fishing they would do it. With Gregoire stuffing her pockets with tribal cash we should not expect much as long as she remains in office. The tribes control fisheries in Washington and unfortunately a good guy like Pat Patillo has to stand up in front of all of us and try his best to put a good spin on a bad out of control situation.

I like the idea of shutting down the hatcheries but realistically the tribes would block such a move in a heartbeat.
