Subsistence fishing is a non-comercial food fishery. Usually for parties, tribal functions, or food for Elders. They are not allowed to sell the fish caught. The argument against subsistence fishing is why not set aside comercially caught fish for subsistence?

I think the posted pics of bad tribal netting practices by a few members creates an embarrasement for the Tribe. And rightfully so. I know their enforcement officer, and he is trying his best to monitor and control illegal practices and bad gill netting behavior.
