Why is it that when I go to the Sportsman Show, I notice the two OP caught, 30+ lb. skin mount nates on the wall - both less then three years old?

Not to take sides on the issue, but why do Washington Sportsmen continue to harvest native steelhead when we all know runs are declining? Because it's legal to do so?

Why is there a commercial fishery off of our waters when we know how lethal that fishery is to our native stocks of fish? Because it's legal to do so?

Maybe it's about time we start changing our laws and start protecting our fish.

Just my $.02.
