Treaty Indian Fisheries and Salmon Recovery

Treaty Indian Fisheries and Salmon Recovery dispels many of the myths about tribal fishing practices and explains why habitat loss and degradation is the single most significant factor contributing to the decline of the salmon resource. This 10-minute video explains salmon migration patterns, how tribal fishing nets are used to selectively harvest healthy salmon runs, and how the treaty Indian tribes in western Washington are carefully managing their fisheries in cooperation with the State of Washington to protect the salmon resource for future generations.

so if the indians are, and if they r fishing greedy like and taking all the fish.....and you quickly blame the indian for neting up all the fish, remember this...we only catch what you non tribal people are buying......you stop eating fish, stop buying, and we will stop fishing.......................­...........

In twenty two years I have never seen any indians that did'nt do every thing they could to rape the water clean of fish. Remember that their catches are in fact monitored by their own people, the reality is that the indians tell you wht they want you to know.

The land development is destroying vernal pools where freshwater zooplankton is feeding everything feeding the salmon. We need zooplankton hatcheries.

bonneylakestarter is full of crap and has never seen a 30 lb silver on the puyallup . . the state record for freshwater coho is 25.27 lbs and the world record coho weighed 33lbs 4 oz. I am a normal WHITE sportfisherman who has fished the Puyallup for the last 20 years and i know for a fact that the Puyallup tribe does more for the salmon than any other tribe in the state, they actually do care
