This mornings paper shows the Chinook give away, for the fifth year in a row, by the Nisqually tribe at their hatchery. I have no complaints about this. My point here is why net when you have a hatchery? The only explanation can be to target native species. I am not specifically pointing the Nisqually tribe out but all tribes that own hatcheries still seem to net the rivers too. What if we were to sell, or even give, all of our hatcheries to the tribes in exchange for a written agreement to no longer net in or within X number of miles from the river? This would not skirt any treaty rights. The tribes would, or should, be happy. I696 passing would eliminate the commercial competition. I see it as a win win for all.
