It's all about money and politics that set up the pecking order on salmon runs. The ocean commercial and sports contingent have more "free speech" (ie money/incentive) to mold the rules than the Puget Sound and river sports fishers. The tribe are the last group to get hit with "conservation restrictions" because of the way the rules for treaty rights are implemented, although they still get corked by the ocean fisheries. What complicate matters is the different jurisdictions salmon travel through,Alaska,Canada and Washington.
