The reverse situation, where the tribes got the leftovers after the ocean fisheries is what led to Hoh v. Baldridge. The shoe is on the other foot now, and for the same reasons. Fishing out front on forecasts. As long as we support that management paradigm the last in line, whoever that is, will get the really short end of the stick.

Look at WB now. WDFW is, apparently, not managing the nets for catch but for value. Same with the tribes here. The value is higher outside, the individual fisherman gets higher value in his, or her, own net. It's not the fish, it's the money.
