Would it have been better if all the land in the 1836 treaty remained under full tribal control excluding non Native American? If that happened there would be no need for this thread.

Your statement has zero liklihood of becoming actuality, less so had the tribes attempted to move on it earlier in time when Statehood was granted and expansionism were the national focus.
Had Judge Fox actually opted to include the actual treaty language that negatets the Federal obligations set forth when 'the land is needed for settlement' in his ruling, that would also make this discussion moot. Both are hypotheticals, unfortunately.
Now, let's get back to that fishery management money the Feds provide the Great Lakes states....please edify us all on what funds this entails. They "rent" hatchery space for lake trout rearing in Michigan, essentiallly subsidizing plants in CD jurisdiction waters. Sea Lamprey control expenditures are mandated via the IJC agreement and directed by the Great Lakes Fishery Commission.

Don't forget free college education.
Whitefish is selling for 13/lb Thills uses a Pisces Industries bone removal machine. I think we have found all of three of four in the same number of years of buying them.
About as non-biased a discussion as attending CPAC and discussing governance issues.
Gear restrictions agreements, species fished, fishig seasons, and creel limits/quotas are all areas of overlap.
Contained within the Consent Decree is a clause that states that the species quotas will be set via use of a Sustainable Fishery Model that is a part of the document. There is a means of challenging the quotas. An example of ammended quotas was the mandated creel limite chage for lake trout kept by sport fishers on Grand Traverse Bay.

It didn't happen.
"Control" is a challenging definition when ceded land required to allow attempting statehood is being controlled .
Can Native "take" of fisheries be controlled? By whom?
Yes it can.
By multiple parties.
The ways of "control" are the only issue.
Long read. Interesting arguments.

Gear restrictions, seasons, creel limits are a stretch. Consent deals with subsistence fishing and commercial netting. I don't think creel limits for the non native is the same as the natives, seasons as well.I know natives hunt deer in the fall as part as their traditions, I think each can shoot 5 deer.
Didn't the Consent define the quota's based on research. Didn't the recreational anglers get a cut in Laker creel limits and the quota's remained unchanged for the Tribes. Maybe I'm wrong....help me understand.

Can the discussion show the routine flaunting of the limits and rules the tribes have exercised in the past?
Hard to agree in good faith when there's over limits, late net pulling, ghost nets, repeatedly sinking boats...

The Federal court ruled! CPMR arguments are utterly unfounded and unsubstantiated. Sovereign's only allowed to be part of the negotiations. Just a feudal attempt on their part. A new Consent is expected by the Sept. 30 deadline.

Not unexpected. The big news that came out of the ruling is that outside groups can contest the decree once released though. That is an entirely new twist!

It turned out to be a giant waste of money to those who contributed to the special interest group.

Come on jatc! It's another one of those pseudo public input sessions that are used to blow steam off of those that oppose the decision. Give them time to vent and allow them to say good bye. It's a done deal at that point.
Us recreational anglers can only hope for the best.

This really doesn’t say anything! It’s status quo for how it’s always been. Nothing different. Recreational anglers will not suffer one bit, it’s the commercial and the charter fishermen that are going to suffer. The impact on recreational fisherman will be next to nil, Other than having to weave around a few nets, or possibly just move them like we always have in the past! The other side of this law is these white folk don’t answer to the tribal laws.

When white folk mess with the tribes they usually end up in trouble under the white folk laws. I remember that Cork, in a long past post, reported a conflict with the tribes illegally setting nets near the Carp River. DNR or someone else was called and when it was settled, Cork was the one almost being arrested. Maybe Cork can provide more detail?
Remember, those nets are in THEIR exclusive zones, we are allowed, as anglers, to fish in their zones.
Just as in any illegal activity, mess with the nets, get caught and you are in State and Federal trouble.
I heard they put trail cams on all their nets, jk.

Recreational fishers have no seat at the table. CPMR have an advisory position to the State, Fed, negotiators. But I think, in reality, the CPMR align themselves with special interest fishing groups and charter groups. "Joe angler" maybe not so much.
