After reading through this all of this, it seems ESA and clipped fish are nothing more then a pain in the ass to the tribes. They fish non selective and a wild and hatchery fish are the same to them.
I've read several times that they consider catch and release fishing as "playing with your food". I'm not sure who that quote came from, but it shows to me that selective fishery practices aren't in the cards for most tribal fisherman.

That being said, we know how difficult it is to get things opened up once they are closed. Is there anything within Boldt that says the state must provide hatchery fish for the tribes?
If Puget Sound was closed for an extended period of time to recreational fishing, why should the state continue to produce fish from state hatcheries?
