Hey, I'm not saying that the WB rivers don't have any steelhead in them, but the fishing is nothing, NOTHING, like it was in the 1970s. And then, with most of the wild fish gone, those loads of steelhead that did return were nearly all hatchery fish. (The last lick of old growth timber hadn't yet been removed from the Willapa Hills, but they were working hard at it.) Lest we forget that the state used to stock the hell out of those streams and the SAR (smolt to adult return) rate was 5 to 10 times greater than it is now. My point is that I'd rather not be the person assigned to fish the WB streams in 2023. This job notice did not include a "way back time machine" that could transport the angler to the fish abundance of yesteryear.
