I was talking to some fellow board members tonight and the most compelling opinion was that its wrong to kill native steelhead, but it's ok to kill native salmon. Personally I don't really see the difference in protecting steelhead but then turn around and kill native salmon. Are salmon so much less important to our future fishing that we might as well harvest them to extremely low levels and then protect them, and not allow the native kill? If people continue to believe its ok to kill native salmon they will be in the same boat as the steelhead down the road, I believe that regardless of the fish we shouldn't kill natives.. The people who said it was ok to kill native salmon also said they would kill native steelhead if they were at harvestable levels. SIGH.. those harvestable levels can only last so long..
