So, it's not a viable option then?

There's no reason to believe it will be revived. The Tribes would rather things go to tribal court and WDFW will not do anything that might "upset" the tribes. It's a co-dependancy relationship where the tribes dictate and the department complies. As long as NO MAJOR influence steps in, things will continue in perpetuation, only getting worse until the Sportsmen are no longer able to fish for salmon, and the commercials, both Tribal and Non-tribal will wipe out the stock to extinction. Dismal looking future...
