On the ferry ride into town today I noticed there was a netter out in Elliot bay with a couple hundred feet of net out...

Pickup truck on Marine Drive yesterday with stereotypical "Fresh Salmon" sign and big white cooler.

That must be a fake ad, fish ticket records show that none of those fish are ever sold. The Nooksack spring chinook fishery is strictly a ceremonial and subsistence harvest.

So then you too are assuming that the tribes can't manage their own fisheries. Sorry, but I don't buy that anymore than someone saying the state can't manager its own fisheries.
I have absolutely no idea how the tribes fishing in the Skagit right now are monitoring their fisheries, but I do know something about how some tribes would be monitoring those fisheries. They would have tribal staff at all the landings on the river checking the catch (I am assuming here that the current fisheries for spring Chinook are probably ceremonial and subsistence more than commercial fisheries, since tribal commercial fisheries would have fish tickets to document sales. I am also assuming that there are probably just a handful of fishers operating, so it would be pretty easy to get a high sample rate.). If they were doing that sort of monitoring would you assume that the tribal staff would be willing to falsify what they saw? Just curious whether or not there is any point in responding further on this thread.
I'm sure the coolers full of fish and garbage cans full of crab have been meticulously recorded.

I, for one, am sick and tired of sucking hind [Bleeeeep!] to a privileged minority. Take the fish and shove it up your #$$. If the state caves in, just to salvage a miserable crumb off the tribes table, I will NEVER support WDFW again! We've been slapped in the face. It's time to fight or grovel like a punk. But to beg the tribes to please let us fish is just plain BS!

I think it's super important to separate long and short term for NOF.
Long term, NOF is obviously super broken, and we needed a good crisis to cause it to be re-examined. I think (but am not sure) we've had it. It's not obvious to me that sporties staying on the bank all season will help, but I concede it MIGHT.
However, MIGHT is hard to weigh against all the boat/tackle/retail outlets who will absolutely take it in the shorts if there's no fishing all summer. WDFW has to try to balance this. We need it on fire enough that serious changes will be enacted, including having our own permits for future years, which is in process I believe.
I think my point is that the inevitable "WDFW caved" narrative isn't so simple -- I think under NO circumstance will we get an equitable season this year. The only hope is we get them in future years.

I just seen where the Indians are netting the White river for Spring Chinook right now. Guessing they needed some Ceremonial catch. Some more BS, white man saved the run from extinction and they are the only user group that get to harvest.

That price per pound is for the winter fishery. The number of fish caught will soon go up and the price will drop. I seem to remember the buyers offered about $2.75 lb for large kings last summer. By the time it get's to the consumer at Pike Place it's $20 lb. Don't sell your house and buy a boat, there's more money to be made after the fish gets to the dock!
