Tribes at it again...no fish records for 2016

[SpringerFan]

Wow....how can this be tolerated? I am at a total loss of words for how our resources are being raped. From elk, deer and fish....what next?

I would love to see the wdfw not publish any of its reports for a year and see how the Tribes react.

[WSU]

Is anyone surprised?

I'd like to see line caught requirements and the end of nets period.  The Lummi are the only tribe that net the open sound and do it sustainably.  River nets shouldn't exist. 

They won't be getting my fishing dollars this next year except for crab maybe.  I'll go to Canada.

Insert broken record Emoji here.

[Woodchuck]

Keep it civil folks or it goes in the toilet...quickly.

[Badhabit]

Maybe I'm missing something but isn't NOAA the governing body for salmon harvests?

I can get fined for not reporting a crab catch record card with no crabs caught that year a big blank. But thousands to hundreds of thousands of fish go unrecorded ruining fish returns while wdfw says hey let's raise fishing license cost over and over and close these systems down 
So close to calling It quits in this state

I can't even say I blame tribes for what's going on. It's our own government/wdfw for allowing this madness.

I guess if there is no competition between tribe and recreational fisherman due to tribes saying they are not out catching salmon then we need to open back up opportunity for the recreational fisherman on those rivers. Big example skokomish. Not a single king or silver salmon netted according to skokomish tribe.

The wdfw is cash poor and afraid of lawsuits. Tribes are cash rich and know they can push the boundaries with out being challenged.

[npaull]

No separate rules for resources! This separate treatment needs to be abolished for once and for all!

Not to stir the pot but, tribal catch is not foyable. Especially when you foyer a governing body that does not govern the tribes. This is a prime example of an article that sounds good, evokes emotion but is not factual. It's a common misunderstanding that the tribes are managed by the state, they are not. The tribes are co-managers with the state, tribes write their own regulations, have agreed to quotas, catch sharing plans, and commercial and ceremonial catch is recorded.

Now google the Northwest Indian Fish Commission website. You can read about some management and projects from the tribes here.

The tribes are co-managers with the state, tribes write their own regulations, have quotas agreed to quotas, catch sharing plans, and commercial and ceremonial catch is recorded.

If they're co-managers they should let the other half know how many they caught or it isn't much of a partnership.

The state has the tribal catch numbers. They are not allowed to release it, it is privileged information since it's related to treaty rights an individual income of specific tribes, or tribal members

Thanks for the clarification

so the state never reveals tribal fish numbers?

[huntnfmly]

Privileged info. My derriere

[yum tag soup]

A little story related to Indians netting fish. This last summer my 5yr old and I were tinkering around the peir in hoodsport when one of the native netting boats pulls up. I ask him how the fishing is going and he says pretty good. He looks at my little boy and asks he he wants to see a fish. My boy gets all excited and says yes so we walk over to the boat and the guy holds up a nice king. I then notice my kid isn't looking at the fish but looking around the inside of the boat. I ask what he's looking for and he says, dad, where's his fishing pole? Priceless!

  great story.

And there is the problem...no transperancy because of a treaty that is obsolete.

Such crap.

This isn't a quality article. NWIFC does provide good info for their tribes, including big game harvest reports.

The banner kind of says it all........ Truth, Law, and Reality Based Washington Wildlife and Fisheries News.

That could be Reality, like Reality TV. In fact reading some of the other articles, it seems more like the National Enquirer.
