I'll be at that meeting in Olympia at the 4:15 time slot, I plan on calling out anyone from wdfw that has ANYTHING to say about this and hasn't told the A.G. the facts of life. Tribes will litigate until hell freezes over (or until the state caves in) even on a losing case if they have casino funds to pay off greedy lawyers. A purely Donald Trump kind of strategy, wear them down with bull**it until they cave. Until the state steps up and challenges this in court the taxpayers and fishing license purchasers end up paying for a tribal and commercial fishery . This kind of B.S. has got to stop. If the state takes them to court and loses the situation would be the same, at least they should fight this all the way before common practice is established that favors tribal interests in fishing co-management that corrupt our political system and screws over the rest of us. Go to the meeting instead of complaining here about how no one from the state was at the hatchery last week meeting with protesters. Call them out for selling out the residents of our state. Maybe we should show up in force at next years canoe journey, a lot of fishermen in boats could certainly throw some sand in their wheels( or paddles!) The news crews would certainly be there. We could balme the disruption on WDFW's failure to protect our interests and rights. Bob R

Maybe I'm missing something here but what the hell does the hoodsport hatchery have to do with the Skokomish closure (the reason for this thread)?
Isn't the Marine Area 12 recreational fishery open? These hatchery Chinook are not returning to the Skokomish.
Maybe you're just bent out of shape because some non-treaty commercial guys are netting fish that would otherwise end up as surplus at Hoodsport?

You are joking right? I want to make sure before I respond.

Not completely, no. Again, what does it have to do with the theme of the thread?

So, they are not going to open the river, even based on your assurance of the legality.
I guess I see this opener as a poke in the eye to the Skoks.....
If they catch Skok fish too, even better.

There have been tribal beach seines fishing that Hoodsport hatchery area for many years. I am not sure there were ever non-treaty beach seines there as per these regulations.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

Have seen those beach seines for years in that area. Non-tribal ones?

Since the department is pushing for increased license fees, I started with an e mail to the director about the various loss of opportunity and if with a new net fishery that there would be a good place to scavenge for new department funding.

I am not a PS person and live here in the Chehalis Valley so I seldom jump in your issues but I will say this. If you are a REC fisher be it the East side of the mountains, PS, or the coast you have be damn near ready for the sleeveless overcoat and a ride to the gray bar hotel to support any license increase ........... period. They will take your money prance around and proclaim they are the Recs friend then do what they have done for the entire 68 years I have been alive ..... screw the hell out you.

Just to make this more interesting for the GH folks I understand the Skoks are trying to claim Black Lake/Black River as part of their U&A. A new player for the GH management circus.
