First off flicker, the Skokomish Tribe doesn't have the ability to guide, it's not written in their treaty, and I highly doubt that the QIN & Makah political machines will let them somehow change their treaty to allow it...they don't want to mess with their market of tribal guiding, as several people have told me in convos on the issue.

Second, I don't understand why just because the lower river is tribal you guys think it'll close...
Well it will, but the skoks have more than enough money to buy it and let the feds run it for them (like cook creek).
They can drop the run size and have a Wipeout fishery in the slough..

All the while, and thru this threads time, the native chinook production continues to get driven harder into the mud, soon to be followed by others
