2Many,
”The Quinault tribe takes conservation and management very seriously. They are a steward for other tribes to follow. That river has the fishing it has do to the work of that tribe, not us "white folk"..........

Except that we pay the tab. Where do you think the money to do what they do comes from? I really hope you‘re kidding. You obviously haven’t seen much of their reservation or the total waste they produce. If they take their fish management seriously how do you explain the carnage I’ve seen them put on the fish. Several times I’ve seen them use bright fish as bear bait, crab bait, take eggs and leave the carcass. They are so far away from true conservation. The way they handled those fish is no surprise. Like so many other tribes the talk is big and the action is small. They are phonies and any attempt to glorify them in their current state says to me you don’t know much about their “ways”.
