The Brits still have salmon, but in Private Waters. The public gets the course fish like carp.

I have seen a few articles on flyfishing for carp in the Columbia (East side). Apparently stalking them in the shallows is a pretty technical task. And they are bigger than most coho and many black mouth......

BTW, there is a big effort to get Northerns out of Lake Roosevelt. Don't know if it has been successful. The Rumor Mill has a few joining the Lake Washington Walleye.
