I don't see the tribes as the enemy on this, they didn't turn the Columbia River into an industrial machine at the expense of the salmon runs. In a perfect world all citizens would share equally in abundant salmon runs. How very far from that world we are! One part of this allocation problem I don't like is the private back room dealing that is going on between the tibes and the nmfs. They need to get in out into the open and tell us what is going on with press releases. One little window into all of this that I have found is the newsdata.com enernet/fishletter. Every sportsfisherman should get on their e-mail list. Another related article of interest on this subject- www.newsdata.com/enernet/fishletter/fishltr101.html#7
