Most disastrous IMHO was Nitinat. The Manager there had the FN's onside, and they were helping collect broodstock, practicing quick releases etc. When The Hooligan shut them down, the FN's went hard core KILL. Huge mistake!
These days ol' Bob has turned over a new leaf, and is trying his damnest to help them.
Unfortunately too late IMO.
Used to hate that fellow, now guess I can at least stomach where he is coming from...

It’s never too late unless there isn’t any brood stock left. The Feds need to pull there heads out of their collective asses and put some brood into the hatcheries. Then dispose of all nets and get everything back on track. A huge increase in chum production for all rivers is essential too as they are the life fertilizer of a river. I’d go back and brood stock fish again if they were willing to try to re-establish our runs.
