Maybe you missed the memo.

We DID fill the fivers with fish. They left as babies, went out to sea, and never came back as 2-salt fish.

Some 3-salt and 4-salt fish are coming back...but 2-salts seem to be gone.

Downside: Fewer fish to be caught
Upside: If you do get one, it will be probably be a good quality large fish.

The other memo coming out seems to indicate the wild component is having returning issues as well.

This has nothing to do with wild/hatchery steelhead and management practices. Has everything to do with climate change (natural or human made) and how it's effecting our oceans and the critters in it.
