Wild steelhead could be 4 or 5 life cycles before any real amount of returning Wild steelhead rebound, if even then.

Probably a smart move would be to "back off hatchery winter run steelhead plants", that only encourage many fisherpersons to fish on the hatchery S Head, and maybe hook some wild steelhead that WDFW is trying to protect.

Smart move, IMO, would be planting many summer run steelhead and few hatchery winter steelhead, might help save the Wild steelhead????????

We know the Humptulips, Wynoochee, could handle more summer S Head but maybe the Satsop, the Hoh, and maybe the upper Chehalis.
