Wild Steelhead have dropped in numbers 4 years in a row. Not just on this system but everywhere in Washington. Maybe all parties involved should use selective methods of harvest.

When a west coast river can continually get over 35k wild steel to return as does the Umpqua, and our basins struggle to get 6k. It is not habitat alone as Umqua has shown. IT is 100% selective fisheries. Which Washington does not have. Until this changes, the writing is on the wall.
