This case study on the Stilly just reflects that there is something very wrong with Puget Sound's steelhead. Aside from this winter, we have seen closures of our terminal to assure that hatcheries recieve their escapement. And with the dismal returns of wild steelhead to Puget Sounds rivers, there has to be some factor within Puget Sound that is severly impacting Puget Sound winter steelhead.
