Hey Timberman I read your thing about the run in with the indians and think thats a bunch of crap. If I am not mistaking it is against the law for the indians to drag their nets across your fishing lines; try calling one of the BIG news stations in Seattle and maybe Ross McCluaglin will investigate?? Ha. Hey I think all the white fisherman should write to our senator and complain about how the indians are going about their fishing and such if you know what I mean? Richard Truckdriver
