ok, dance around lots of numbers......many active on this web site retired WDG and WDF and also combination of the 2 agencies.

All this educated talent, talk the talk....still the Wild steelhead numbers have been declining "big time" since the Bolt decision.

Some one needs to get the Punch card sales and the punch card returns. If everyone was 100% honest and 100% of the cards were returned, that would be the most accurate measure at showing declining steelhead returning numbers.....I think that should be available and posted on the WDFW web site......last time I ask, it was under 50%.

Spawning surveys, ugh...... If the spawning surveys were accurate, how did we get caught with our "pants down" and have to go with complete closures, to protect the few remaining pockets of wild steelhead?????
