The test fishery is hard to argue against. Tiny effort, small numbers taken, and it feeds and update. Been done that way for decades, throughout the region.

Flat out opening the commercial fisheries, though, seems to smell a bit ranker.

If these are not already in the LOAF, note the manner in which they occur. A regulation is adopted by the regulator and then shared. Would WDFW ever open a fishery before asking Tribal approval?
