Why would there need to be a non-Indian commercial fishery to access the NI share? If the recs had a good opportunity to take the share in the river or bay what is then wrong with letting the tribal commercials take the rest of the harvestable?

So long as WDFW had the gonads to allow maximal rec harvest, and push to ensure the fish were there to be caught and not just paper fish, it would seem that sporties would be happy.

At the worst those fish would make it to the gravel to spawn and feed the ecosystem.
