There is 100% no need for any non-tribal commercial fishery on the LCR at all...zero. That's what we should be advocating for, not advocating for a way to help commercials harvest more fish.

Fish on...

P.S. Getting rid of the commercials completely won't hardly make a blip on the radar so far as "restoring" salmon to the Columbia...but it won't hurt, and would definitely make economic sense, not to mention improve sportfishing.


Funny you should mention the goal. I was confronted by a legislator who said directly thats what xxxx wants to do. It isnt but he was dead set on his opinion. Net ban rhetoric is not helping. Walls go up. Its not going to pass in Olympia and the only other way is an initiative. But you dont like that fundraiser money and if it comes from people you find objectionable like in Oregon, you complain. How about you paying for it? Its going to get interesting when the haters want a certain group to fund it. More than likely, the haters will be bitching because a certain group won't fund a ban on commercial fishing.
