Just greed. Our poor salmon. Every year I feel like it gets worse and worse. People fighting over scraps. If I ever see a net in the Nicomen, Sumas, Kanaka OR Chehalis, I'm cutting it. I guarantee you as we speak there lays a net in the Chehalis. Why do you think its still closed ? Because of the pressure from Ralph Leon Jr. last year thats why. That band is becoming more powerful by the day. We as rec guys are losing out grip here. We all talk the same talk year in and year out. Nothing ever changes it just gets worse. We talk about how we all need to hold hands with Indians and get along but the bands don't care. They just stab us in the back and take more ! Ralph Leon Jr is a prime example of this.
Some of you people are just so damn ignorant here. There has been a plan to cut non FN people out of the salmon game privince wide. The cuts we are seeing are just baby steps towards the end game.
