[QUOTE=pokermonkey;2903736]Do some research on Oregon's Young's Bay terminal fishery. Enlightening. But of course, this has also been left out of the hype.

I am familiar with this fishery, it`s subsidized by hatcheries that should be producing smolts for sports in my opinion. Lots of people claim that the tribes are lazy fishermen and only take, take, take. Yet I see them running their own hatcheries and doing VERY well with them. Sports get a good share of the fish returning to them{or would if they`d fin clip them}. The same would be true if several hatcheries were run for commercial purposes. If the monies were spent on these "commercial" hatcheries that is planned for "retooling" the commercials I wonder what that would get us{sports}? Bill

Louie i`ve been typing quite a bit tonight so I copied and pasted this. I`m not the one to make a proposal to Olympia as I work for a living and really don`t have the time to do a project like that. I`d just like for the folks that are gung ho for this to see another side. NO it`s not working and doubt that it will but I can only keep bringing up my side as I am the only one in this for ME. Ban ALL commercial harvest on the LCR is my banner and that`s where I stand. Bill
