I still am surprised all these years later that the lessons learned about the interdependency of salmon & steelhead are not recognized by Rec fishers. I remember Jim lecturing me on that when I answered the question " what is the most valuable fish to a watershed " It is Chum and brother did I get it wrong with Chinook. The correct answer is Chum because they take little from the watershed and bring back all the biomass from the marine and contribute massive nutrients by simply dying after they spawn. Not that valuable in harvest extremely valuable to a watershed and the other species.
