The tribes see a fish is a fish is a fish, except when wild fish can be used to constrain land use or NT fishing. WDFW doesn't, I believe, really know what to do because of the political pressure from above to satisfy the Tribes and go to appreciative uses.

Like Rivrguy says, we have to really reduce fisheries, especially any all mixed stock fisheries, protect the food base, bring predators into balance, and restore habitat and water quality.

As if that isn't enough to consider we have to admit we have too damn many people here now and refuse to deal with that issue at all.

It won't be too many more decades and CA, AZ, and NV will tap the Columbia for water and they will have the political power to do it;.
