Been a lot of chatter lately about the decline of steelhead and fishing for them in BC and WA. Apparentlyy some of the conservation NGOs in BC have just noticed that Noah had more steelhead on the Ark than BC rivers.

According to what I have been seeing it, both DFO and BC have essentially given over steelhead in preference to salmon, which also is congruent with FN goals. Look familiar?

Lots going on in both countries but there is very little recognition or concern for recreationalist contact with steelhead unless it is looking at them from afar.
