The pink runs state wide the past 10 yrs have been over the top! You would think stream nutrient delivery would be at it's peak. Repeat spawners should be available more than ever inside Puget Sound, with all the closures. Predators must be the smoking gun! Get rid of cormorants and pinnipeds and watch what happens. But! That will never happen for the poor old steelhead. Nobody cares enough to do anything other than close hatcheries, because steelhead cost to much all the way around. Proud to have them be our state fish.
