There is an article in the tribune today about the Hood Canal waste of Chum Salmon, the already "beating of a dead horse" issue of egg stripping. Interesting reading; will it make a difference? Probably not, but at least they published it.

go to sports, then outdoors sections by using the menu on the left column.

OK, so I can't type either. WASTING Chum. At least I didn't have a fruedian slip like someone else

Any article that has a chance of raising public awareness, is a good thing.

Without non-sportsmen support to stop these activities, wasteful/destructive fishing practices performed by the tribes will keep occurring.

Sure, this issue is a "dead horse" but this "dead horse" and other tribal fishing practices "dead horses" sure do stink. Just wait till the nates start appearing at Pikes street market, again, that come straight out of tribal nets.

Maybe some pictures would help the cause. You know a picture is worth a thousand words, so some say.

Thanks alot I found that aeticle very useful! i'm doing a model congress bill about this exact thing in one of my classes.
thanks

Here's another article about wasting salmon in Hood Canal. It's by Drew Hawthorne, the outdoors writer for the Bremerton Sun.

Fish,
Read as soon as i got to work today, totally sickening. I do not think the state will step in and do a thing. The roe alone is more $ to the indians than the fish, it is all a matter of economics. I will give you a call tomorrow about this weekend.

Yeah, F'nFreak , you were supposed to call me last week too!! How did you do last weekend?

we were building a house in alderbrook right in the heart of the fishery and those indians are the worst people. in some instances at low tide the nets are exposed and fish laying on the beach. on private property no less. but they do it for coho also. people have found up to 200 fresh chrome bright silvers on there beach front. the bucks are split open and checked for eggs also. watching that this fall made me sick, something has to be done with these people and there fishing practices.
