Wow, I do not believe this is the WDFW position. I've emailed this web link and support material to Dir Unsworth, The Corps, and others involved. Let's see where this takes us.

I predict a lesson in politics is coming my way...


WDFW will probably tell you that the Tribes are a Sovereign Nation and this a “Government to Government” issue. They will add that WDFW cannot force the Tribes to agree and cannot proceed without the Tribes giving them permission.

This is how our WDFW handles conflict with the Tribes. Just ask all the guys that used to fish the skokomish river!
