Salmo,
I just read your reply to Blackjack's questions about hatchery and wild crosses. As usual, your response was very well thought out and thorough. Can you imagine trying to explain all of the details you listed over the phone? As Blackjack stated, he had printed your response so he could study it.

I think the same can be said about Mr. Freymund's response to Bob's questions. I think it would be best to have the answers in writing so we can see exactly what the WDFW response was. One need only look at Bob's original post to see an example of how details can be mis-interpreted. Bob stated that only 302 steelhead have been caught by sportsmen in the Quillayute this year. I looked at the WDFW web page and 302 is the number of wild fish checked so far and it is not expanded to total catch. I'm sure there is still a large discrepancy between Tribal and sport catches but we surely have more than 302 fish.
