Sounds to me like you have allot of complaints about the tribe. How does what they have in their front yards impact you or fishing in the Skokomish river?

What about all the garbage "We" leave on the banks of rivers everywhere? Do you pick any of it up? It would be nice if everyone did their part to make Fishing better for all. As for whats in others front yards, lets not tell people how they should keep their property.

I have seen many young tribal members get caught and fined for snagging fish. They pay a big fine.

Hey there Jackiepoo.
You make a lot of good points.
Use spell check though.

You do make some good point JP, But when did this become an Indian bashing/river garbage thread? Capt.?

I know what your saying, and I'm as erked about it as you are sometimes.

I just wanted to point out what I thought about the natives being able to fish when we can't. Like I said in a previous post, I think something might be going on. Maybe I'm paranoid.

Capt....I've seen the kids get caught for not snagging but keeping to many fish. They are allowed to snag. Do you really think they get a fine though? Probably as big of one as the netters get for dumping fish in the river and canal, huh. The tribal cops put on a real good show on the "other" side of the river for us "sporties".

Oh and by the way....

Welcome, Capt.Dan, to this board. You'll have fun here.

Thanks Benny. Looks like a good place.

The Smoke was the place where I caught my first Salmon. I go back every year. It gets more crowded all the time. I bought a boat for just that reason. Hope to get a few this weekend.
