Do folks truly believe in their heart of hearts that the puget sound can or will support healthy runs of wild anadromous fish again? Especially steelhead? With human polulation and development not slowing down for anyone, its hard to imagine. The skagit is not a good indication of the more southern rivers either. I would personally love to believe that they could and did for years but man o man, reality just has a way of slapping us square in the face. Boy, i could use some encouragement but its hard to imagine after seeing exploitation of every resource these poor fish rely on. Alot of so called green companies out their joining the "in style" marketing campaign but what results are we are utlimately used to seeing.
