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.

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.

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

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.

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