The "get away" with it because they have a legal right by treaty to catch and sell fish. Their police/game do a catch survey almost every day and remove nets, not identified and regularly serviced. By treaty and management plan, they are allowed a certain number fish of the total predicted runs. So it isn't quite the every indian for himself as you make it sound like.

Great Story,you paint a wonderful picture! This really gets me excited about the upcoming river season. I always feel I get the best results when anticipation of success is low. Thanks.
