Read the story; was about what I expected.

It became clear to me some time ago that ESA means only the tribes will be allowed fishing and long term the FEDS will run Oregon and Washington fisheries. Sports fishing for salmon is over - at least in the terms we know it in past years. The FEDS protected the spotted owl and other species at any cost and will do the same for salmon. The people who are going to be in shock are the taxpayers when they get the increasing bills driven by resource protection.

In my opinion, sports fishers made a serious error when they joined the gear wars where they fought the commercials and allowed outselves to be divided into trollers, river fishers, salt water types etc. We should have banded together. The old story, divided we fall.......hopefully the alliance will help.
