Tribes. And there you go. Flexing season decision power more than ever. Paybacks are always a bitch! Had some Europeans in town and took them out for some coho in MA10. Caught a beauty chinook about 15# and had to release it. They asked why? Took so

So after only 3 days we were closed down, supposedly because we hit quota of 1300 or so fish. However, preseason forecasts showed the hatchery return as one of the highest in 20 years. How can that be, when our quota 3-4 years ago was somethin
