lumii tribal member facing charges for illegal netting

 Otto, from your post it seems you feel the tribe's don't get a fare shake. I'm 1/8 Blackfoot, hunt with an Ojibway and have also involved in ESA salmon planning for the Sound. Understand that the tribes are not subject to ESA laws, they harvest wild salmon all the time. The Makahs take wild's annually in their winter chinook troll and that fishery is not a gill net fishery, it is a long line fishery -in essence those fish could still be released. I don't care what nationality a person is, or of what origin. Every person has an obligation to contribute to the resources in this Country who harvest's them, much of the tribal harvest attitude is that everyone has taken what was theirs. Very simplistic attitude and not up to date with reality. Reality is that fishing only exist's because of non-tribal dollars, while some tribe's do contribute to the run's in hatchery production and are to be commended for that, the majority of State tribal harvest is made up of fish that are of State and private hatchery origin. Right now the tribe's have been recently handed the title of fisheries co-manager's with WDFW and they do not have to; report annual harvest, adhere to State season's, pay in to hatchery and enhancement project's, etc.. for this privelege. Sentiment towards the old native way of life has absolutely nothing to do with this issue.

No, not really. I just kind of thought it funny that they had a big ol' cerimony over the salmon and how much its part of their heritage and a few weeks later one of their own gets nabbed for netting them.
As for doing hillbilly justice by throwing hay bales in the river to screw up nets, its just plain stupid, by doing that the dumb as s has the potenial to kill more fish than the net would do with someone tending it. Haybailing causes derilict gear that will catch and kill fish for years!

My second link was the only story I could find that was ran on the incident, but Jackelope posted what looked like an article but it had no mention of were it came from, no reporter, no newspaper no nothing. I personally would not post something like that without giving writting credits to who or what wrote it and I think he knows exactly what I am talking about.

Dman:
 Oh, misunderstood your meaning.

jackelope:
i got the story off of another BB. i don't like to post links from other outdoor forums on this one and viceversa.

otto...ease up...it's a joke. i know you don't know me, but fishing is my biggest passion. bigger than hunting....and you will NEVER find me doing anything to harm the river or the fish in it. actually i would rather see the jackazz strung up by his b--ls than haybale his net.
