The only valid comparison to the GH fisheries is this:

Get the non-tribal commercials completely out of the Columbia River...gone, gone, gone. Screw selective fishing with purse seines, screw the SAFE area fisheries...just get them out of there completely.

That will end the death of the ESA springers, the bycatch of sturgeon and steelhead, will not reduce hatchery production as it is mandated by the Mitchell Act as dam mitigation, and will not hurt the public's access to springers...they can fish for them themselves just as now, or can purchase them as they originate in the tribal fisheries, just as they do now.

The only change will be the end of an archaic fishery that serves no purpose other than to put recovery and economics in the back of the bus, with a handful of commercial fishermen who don't even make much money there sitting in the driver's seat.

Fish on...
