Maybe it should be steelhead were overfished at one time.
With the lack of recreational opportunity now and the tribes not fishing for them on many Puget Sound systems, overfishing doesn't seem to be the case today. There hasn't been a recreational season on the Nisqually since 1993. So much for the theory that some want. If you shut it down the fish will come back. 31 years and counting.......

The marine environment is certainly an issue. Its interesting ever year to watch the results of the Survive the Sound event put on by Long Live the Kings.
