The solution to the problem is outside the box,,, doing the opposite and telling the truth...

That's the problem with the Steelhead management,, "nobody is telling the truth" The process is rigged,, the counts and estimates are rigged...

Nobody wants to admit that you cannot harvest every possible fish and then some... Nobody wants to admit that harvesting some fish is fine,, but the majority have to spawn in the river...

Nobody wants to admit that commercial fishing,, under a model that seeks to take the maximum amount of fish out of the system is not a sustainable thing,, not a good thing...

Nobody wants to admit that sport fishing,, on healthy stocks has little to no impact... That harvesting a few fish by sport fishers has little to no impact...

Nobody wants to admit that commercial fishing generates little to no revenue for the state and local where sport fishing has the potential to generate lots of revenue,, support communities substantially...

As long as people remain greedy,, corrupted and compromised and make decisions that do not make logical sense nothing can change...
