John,
yes,it`s true, actually when the right to do so was given to them, I think it was 1997 but they just never exercised thier right to do so till now. From what I`ve read though, they show a lot of respect for the property owners land, they always arrive by water, and they do as little harm as possible, just wish they felt the same way about the rivers and fish runs they harvest.
