i think that's long past due. unfortunately the snagger types can have a real chip on their shoulder(often alcohol/drug fueled) and rarely hang out alone. a lot of them like to pick fights, too.

i fish the nisqually a lot in august and september, i grew up fishing it and have no plans to give it up. needless to say i was a little shocked by the closures this year that take up quite a bit of the season. from what i understand, it's due to on-river idiocy by sport fishermen. i'm not saying the tribe doesn't fuel a lot of that(i've had some of the younger netters try to play chicken with me when i've been anchored up along the bank the last few years), but every time we go up against them, we're set up to lose from the get go. best to just grin and bear it, and be thankful they can't net 6 days a week like some systems.

there's enough salmon to go around, learn to share a little bit, and leave the dumbass at the bar where it belongs.
