Re: QIN to Columbia??? by DrifterWA @ 2 minutes 14 seconds ago

6/04/2026 Just a question here, with all the Washington parties wanting to extend or keep their share, why the heck do we allow "out of State" persons to license to fish or crab in our waters?????? Out of Staters, buy a license, don't rea

Rich G, As you suggest very little of my college years, which were off and on with help from the G.I. Bill and a law enforcement grant, made me smarter. WhEN I began studying the administration of justice, it did help my career a lot, as a Fishcop.

I mis-posted in the wrong thread but I read one article saying a Federal Court said that QIN U&A had been determined decades ago. I am also aware that, at times, Tribes invited other Tribes to fish in their U&A because it made management sen

Just saw an announcement that the Federal Court shut this down saying QIN U&A has been adjudicated a long time ago. Stay tuned.

When I was in PS management a rule of thumb was that state/tribal fights were nothing like tribal/tribal. Lots of popcorn to be comnsumed watching this one. Lots on the line, too. Although, on the positive side, if QIN wins then Willapa can receiv

The thousand yards whale distance is a good example of the continued stupidity. First, enforcement would have to prove that the required distance was less than a thousand yards, but the clinker is that this law ONLY applies to SRK's! since this is

At one time it was staff. Actual hands-on staff. Now, most pop the contentious stuff in Fish is done by negotiators and staff (may) get a chance to improve/fix it. Don't know about Wildife but it likely used to be regional staff as each Region wa
