"Stipulated order" invalidates
state fishing regulations
A court-approved agreement be
tween the State of Oregon and four
Columbia River tribes makes it legal
for non-Indians to possess sleelhead
and walleye purchased from tribal '
fishers. The agreement is effective
immediately.
The agreement, called a "stipu
lated order," invalidates three state
regulations as they apply to transac
tions between tribal fishers and non
Indians over fish caught in the Co
lumbia River tribal fisheries. This
order is a permanent injunction that
prevents the state from promulgating
similar regulations in the future.
