FISHING -- I'm not noticing much celebration of the 40th anniversary of the landmark court decision that awarded Indian tribes rights to half of the Pacific salmon returning to their traditional waters.

It's still a political hot potato.

Seattle Times columnist Ron Judd has written a thoughtful piece about the impacts the Boldt Decision has had on our collective resolve to make sure wild salmon continue to be a thriving icon of the Pacific Northwest.

It's worth everybody's time to think about this subject.
