I fully understand the issues addressed in these replies.The native americans need to use more discriminate means to catch their fish,but they are not "the" problem.We need to buy back commercial fishing licenses and tear down some Dams. Buzz Ramsey wrote an excellant article in STS magazine that showed shocking numbers of fish killed by the Dams and everything they entail.Seems like the numbers killed by Dams was around 80% and fisherman both tribal and non-tribal was only taking around 7% while the rest was commercial fishermen.Don't quote me on the figures,but I think they are close.When we can't even get the Gov to remove non-native terns from Rice Island I don't think we stand a chance getting them to do anything else unfortunately.Just my thoughts,lester
