If WDFW put together a season package that met conservation, achieved the 50:50 sharing it would likely be unacceptable to the Tribes because of selective fisheries. Because they CHOOSE to fish non-selectively they need more than half the impacts to achieve their share of harvestable hatchery fish.

I don't think NOAA wants to deal with their having to publicly cut NI fisheries so that the Tribes (the First Conservationists) can fish non-selectively. That would look bad, especially in the current Federal climate.
