A good freind of mine who unfortunatly passed away a couple years ago lived in Forks during the 70's where he was the football coach. He told me stories about how the fishing used to be and was no longer. Regardless of how many fish there were this year there were more hostorically and that population was much more diverse! During the 70's the Southwest Washington streams were at the same crossroads that the OP rivers are at now. The state decided not to end the harvest and as a result the wild fish crashed. now we only get token runs of wild fish. last year 200 for the Kalama and less for the Washougal,Wind and East lewis. What a person says doesn't show what they believe it's their actions that do the real talking. Anyone who kills a wild steelhead from the state of Washiongton by their actions doesn't care about the future of the resource.
