taxpayers and license holders of Wisconsin have the right to know how those dollars are being spent. Without credible information on processing and distribution of the spearing harvest from the WDNR and GLIFWC, a vacuum of information is created by them. This vacuum of information allows folks to come up with their own answers regarding the spearing harvest, some of which only create tension among the community. I have heard folks say that they believe that the majority of speared fish are left to rot and that the Lac Du Flambeau are spearing out of spiteful vengeance. I have also heard folks say that they believe that the fish are being processed and sold through a third party on the open market as "Canadian Caught Walleye". As folks who contribute to fishery management through our tax and license dollars, we have the right to know the end result of how those dollars are being used in support of tribal subsistence. We Are All In This Together!!!
