That being said, they missed it by so far last year that I have little faith in the projections, and though this is a tough pill to swallow, I can't really disagree with it until after the run is over and the reconstruction is done.

If last year was an anomaly, then great...if not, I'd rather find out at the end of the season, rather than during it while we're fishing.

Fish on...

Since the runs are obviously hurting, hence the closure, why is it that the Tribes are still netting right now? Other than it is "their right", is there any good reason?

Don't get me wrong, I am not pointing my finger at the Tribal netting as the sole problem, it's merely just one of them but it has a great impact that continues to go unaddressed.
