Cowlitzfisherman,

Why dont you ask Bob about that when he comes back im sure he will give you some answers.

If we had any truely healthy runs of either wild salmon or steelhead I wouldnt have a problem with bonking a few but the truth is that we dont. We have somewhat healthy runs but thats about it.

As far as people like you are concerned and WDFW are concerned I am worong. The OP has plenty of wild fish for all user groups. just as the Skagit, Snohomis, Columbia system and every other river once did. ONCE DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
