To all boater fans, (who arent banned) Start your own friggin organization and raise your own money.

Im taking a different approach than you boater. Some of us recognize the effort to completely eliminate non tribal commercial fishing on the columbia has a low probability of success. State Law provides support for that group of fisherman. It took many years, just to acquire a commission that prioritized conservation over harvest. We simply will not change the way the tribes fish, unless we take the lead and show them, we are willing to play by the same rules. The NTC fisherman will not take the lead, so sportsmen must. If we can reduce the allowable ESA kill from 15% including the tribes, through selective gear, its a first step. If you eliminate Harvest as a primary reason for wild fish extinction, we can force the federal govt to deal with the other causes. Since Habitat and Hydro are both wrapped up in the Snake river dams, its a good bet, our position will be strengthened. Fortunately, several Tribes have already expressed interest in saving wild fish from extinction, through the use of selective gear.

The organization I support WILL NOT take on a fight, it doesnt think it can win. There are plenty of groups, who have proven they will.
Meanwhile, every year, there are less wild fish.

Make up your mind and go do something constructive.
