If "economic drivers" were in fact the driving force behind Lower Columbia spring Chinook fisheries, then the non-treaty commercial fishers would have been gone a long, long time ago...

They make a handful of dollars for a handful of people, providing a service that is already being provided for by the CRTFC tribes, while taking away millions of dollars worth of "economic drivers" that would be generated by a longer and more robust recreational fishery.

Fish on...
