Sparkey, I have did extensive research on the other salmonoids as well. And I did say that there were many other things that contribute to the decline of fish on the columbia in my first paragraph. I simply was suggesting a problem that has been effecting our large wild steelhead population since the beganning of time and now when it matters most it is slipping our grasp.

I have no idea what you are talking about when you say (hen steelhead) where did I say that, I must ask, do tell. Looks like you got women on the mind. By the way did your girlfriend tell you that she and I have met via this forum and are going to hit up Rocky ford this Winter. Dont worry though just buisness.

Anyhow Ryan it is you who looks as someone who needs to do more studying as you have said in your profile that you are a "COLLEGE SLACKER" ...... I rest my case.!!!!

Dont critcize people if you simply cant read the forum corrcetly.

By the way tell Keeri hello for me.

Sincerely Pautzke
