the snake and clearwater nates used to get huge, but do to native and commercial netting, occurances like the one mentioned are few and far between, if the tribes and commercials would quit there greedy ways and jus not fish for 4 seasons straight for steelies, why do they need to fish for mere cents a pound to jus fill there quota and bycatch native steelies jus give it up allready, then those runs would be huge for nates, i caught a 20+ nate on the mainstem of the clearwater about 10 years ago, and the conditions havent improved one bit for them..
