First of all none of our states rivers should be considdered healthy while the numbers are on the way down. I dont know of any river system in our state that supports historical numbers of wild steelhead. Therfore none of our rivers are in a healthy status.

The Quileute river system is currently considdered the healthiest in the continental united states and possibly in the world. If this is the healthiest one than we are in bigger trouble than anybody could imagine. The Quileute system should be at endangered status! Now people are gonna call me crazy.

Heres why. The early winter run is almost nonexistant as well as the wild summerrun. The wild chinook are gonna be gone in no time at all.

When the healthiest river in the lower united states is in trouble then that should be the time when the state wakes up and we wake up.

There is not an excess of wild steelhead anywhere in our state. The only sport fishery should be C&R or nothing at all.

Every time I hear somone call the Quileute system healthy I can hardly help myself from throwing up. That is the biggest bunch of propiganda I have ever heard. How can you say a river is healthy when large parts of the run are almost gone?

There are not enough fish anywhere in our state for wild steelhead harvest! Anybody who thinks so is a couple rocks short of a gravel pit or just greedy.
