Now, the issue of tribal fishing on those (recovered) wild stocks while recreational fishers are excluded is another matter.

With all of the discussions recently about proposed license fee increases and GF decreases I took particular notice of the list of WDFW taskings at the end of the Biological Opinion and, particularly, of those related to steelhead (since there is no NT fishery).


I'm not sure if it will be set forth in the same manner, but we pay for steelhead plants on the skok. It's closed to us but up for natives to fish. I doubt this will be any different .

I'll talk to my supervisor's wife, she's the daughter of the Nisqually chief.
