I would amend this by saying that WDFW seemingly puts NO priority anymore on steelhead production. Sadly, I feel that river fishing around here is a dying sport and that most of the relative newbies that have moved to this state couldn't care less. It is not on their radar. However, I will again try for later winter runs until my license expires, and as a lifetime WA resident, this year could be the first that I don't buy a new license in over 45 years.
