How long does it take people to understand that the catch is divided by Indians and non-Indians fishing in WA. In most cases, the non-Indians take their fish in marine waters, as juveniles (black mouth). Regardless, most of the NI rec harvest is marine. The Tribes are limited to their Usual and Accustomed areas which is generally on a river but may include the bay and some approach areas. So, for salmon, Indians will take most of their fish in the river. That is where they get their share. We can argue to appropriateness of the total numbers taken but rivers is where they fish.
