Good to see you're still around Salmo G!

Since we never get to jab anymore, let's talk TURKEY!

Please tell us how that "early" "wild" steelhead that they released will ever get back to its place of origin to spawn, especially when "early wild" steelhead are not being allowed to be put into the upper Cowlitz before the end of February? As you know, originally about haft of the true Cowlitz run of steelhead returned from mid November to January and the other haft returned from February to April.

So what was accomplished by releasing this fish? Really? You know that these "wild" Cowlitz steelheads are pretty much the same animal as the now famous "bogus lynx". The guy who made the great genetic discovery of this special genetic stock of "Late Winter Cowlitz steelhead" is now dead.

I will bet you money, if someone checks this out; it will turn out to be just like the lynx hoax! I just herd that WDFW is now under investigation about the Grizzly Bear issue. Apparently, some biologist had gotten a hold of a hide from Canada and may have done the same thing with it as what was done with the lynx fur.

USFW and NMFS needs to undertake this issue and see if the Cowlitz genetic results were also a scam by WDFW.

How's that for cold Turkey?

Is the taste of the bait worth the sting of the hook????
