I keep coming back to the long-term memory that Rivrguy has. I seem to remember, and this was probably pre-merger, that WDF maintained there were no summer Chinook in the watershed until such time as the recs wanted a fishery; probably on summer steelhead. Suddenly, there were summers that needed protection. I also have talked to other folks in WB who have to protect Bull Trout in their tiny creek. And, there was some habitat along I-5 in the Chehalis watershed that required protection for wolverines.
