9/10/2017 2:48:33 PMI just got done throwing all those tails in the photo (along with a few others I've saved up over the past 2 months) into a salt, water, vinegar brine to make some pickled salmon. If you've never done it this way, it's (in my opinion) the best way to have salmon. It's a texture thing - turns what is typically soft and buttery into a nice firm steak.

9/10/2017 9:37:28 PMYou wont get flak from me. I posted some info on tribal fishing in the saltwater forum and I don't want to repeat it again.. You might take a look. The only body that has any authority over the tribes is the federal government, but they do exactly nothing. The tribes are really a sovereign nation and the WDFW has no jurisdiction over them. I actually feel kinda sorry for the WDFW. It must be frustrating for them.

9/10/2017 11:11:18 PMNo grief from me either on trial fishing. I saw them waste them, throw them back, sell them for a dollar, net from bank to bank .... You name it. I once chellenged couple of them. The response I got "it is our historic right to fish the rivers that we kept from all the unfairness given to us ...." well fish the rivers or destroy them may be a fine line but it defensively showing.
Nice fish, great report

9/11/2017 9:57:46 AMNo bashing from me as well. I too have seen the greed and selfish actions by the tribes. For many years I felt pride in the Native Americans, but that changed a few years back. It is getting worse, and will continue to do so until the federal government has the will to take action. Thanks for the post.

9/12/2017 11:28:58 AMAll great comments - it seems like a unanimous consensus that the Federal Government needs to update regulations to make them FAIR. I guess the next question is WHERE DO WE START? How do we do this to get the ball rolling?
