Good points.

The reason sport fishing advocacy groups were effective in ending commercial fishing on stripers, reds, etc. was that the states in which those events occurred are not beholden to tribal fishing rights. The treaties are the lone, immovable obstacle sranding in the way of meaningful fisheries changes in WA.

If the only economy our Legislature had to worry about was the Stare's, they would likely have changed the fisheries management paradigm long ago.
