Havent you seen all the no fish reports on the Nooch?

Thats why you cant keep Wild steelhead anymore. wasnt too long ago that it was pretty good just like the Hump and others. Now none of theese rivers are any good. To many selfish fisherman.

I get tired of people blaming just the indians. Yes, currently they are the biggest factor. But it wasnt too long ago when sports fisherman almost made the same impact. Just look back about six years at the WDFW steelhead catch records and you will see.

The sad thing is that even with what we know today the majority of guys out there would bonk everything they cought, if they could. Some do even if they cant.

The question should not be how come I cant keep wild steelhead. It should be why can you still keep them in some places.

After all the takeing weve done its time to give back.
