The tribes were prepared to fish NO MATTER WHAT the fish did last year, which is exactly what they did. If the "fish came marching in" as it were in 2016, then why are so many of the 2016 redd count/escapement numbers so low or even at critical? They're going to fish no matter what shows up....

Summer comes, nets go out, fish are sold, repeat.

The tribes were prepared to fish alright, did you see how many ISU’s from the straits throughout Puget Sound they had for Coho? The state must have agreed with the findings--- sport fishing opened.
