I had a lot of the same takeaways as Sg and Smalma. I tend to subscribe to Sg's claim that none of this will result in net benefit to fish, unless some sort of catastrophic event or pestilence wipes out a large percentage of our population, thereby slowing new development significantly. More likely, the Tribes have long seen the writing on the wall, and they're building up the legal precedents required to sue WA and the Feds into oblivion once the fish are gone.

It would be interesting to see what happened if they went after the Alaska and BC commercial fisheries. That would start something of a war. Sport fishing interests are soft and can easily be swept aside. Not so for the well-established, deep-pocketed seafood processors.

Interesting times....
