Glad to see you guys brought up the tribes again today. I`m with the Goat herder{aunty m} on this one in that I believe the tribes will end up to be our saviors on the springer issue and others. They`re the ones with the power to make our federal and state government respond, their goal is fish even if they have to raise them their selves. While I`ve seen the mismanagement up north by the tribes I don`t think the Confederated are going to do that. The only problem I can see is if they decide to move below Bonneville, which I`m pretty sure a few will. How far down is another question. I`m hoping for more of the platforms immediately downstream of the dam like I saw last year, maybe they`ll take out a couple dozen{or more} seals and sea lions too. Bill
