Further to dianavan's question, I also question- dispute JiK's assertion that "Native American Savages"(who are about the only ones who can get a US license to fish for salmon)."

That language is so out of date it is embarrassing. Be that as it may, Native Americans are certainly NOT "about the only ones who can get a US license to fish for salmon". Wherever did you get that idea, John?

A lot of Native Americans fish for a living, no doubt, but every single one of the fishermen that I actually know are white, Anglo, caucasion (sic) people, both men and women. And there are LOTS of them.

Maybe you mixed up salmon fishing with subsistence issues? Currently subsistence fishing and other kinds of harvesting are more important to more Native Americans than they are to said white, Anglo, caucasian(sic) people. A good deal of their culture depends on it.

That said, subsistence harvesting is currently permitted in a number of rural, isolated areas. For everybody.
