I would be really interested in seeing the ESA Incidental Take Permit for this fishery, since there is an absolute certainty that they will be encountering ESA Puget Sound Chinook, and likely steelhead, too.

Fish on...

P.S. of course there is probably no such permit. If someone wanted to stop this fishery I suspect suing NOAA-F for failing to enforce the ESA would be a pretty easy route, at least until a permit is granted.


Todd, never fear........the BIA would simply issue a permit and make it above board (but not legal).
