I don't think that's true Mr. Edward. The Skagit CNR season is the product of a grass roots fishermen effort and hard work by some WDFW biologists, who did have to work with the Skagit tribes to bring this about. But the tribes wanted something too, so they worked with the state as co-managers. IMO the Washington Department of Salmon doesn't give a whit about steelhead, so it's important to me that some of the staff do and are willing to take on the work.

Motivated to get more involved here down south. Been out of the club scene since the Northwest Steelheaders of TU disbanded here in Puyallup. Maybe push for some HMP's for some late season Steelhead CnR for the Green, Puyallup and Nisqually. What groups do I need join around Puyallup where I live to get cut in on the information and processes to follow in the Skagit, Sauk success? Any chance we can push for an HMP on the Puyallup to start, or Green? Am I living in a pipe dream? Going to retire in a few years and would love to wet a line again on my home river for some wild steel. Thanks.
