Smalma, my post was my own and not reflective of the positions of any of the chapters or groups I belong to.

In recent years there has been concern over escapement for the Skykomish winter steelhead, necessitating the closing of the March and April C&R fisheries. I agree with this strategy. I agree we must error in favor of the fish. In recent years there has also been a June 1st opener on the Sky which leads me to believe that there was minimal risk during this time to late spawning wild winter steelhead. I would like to see an opportunity for a recreational fishery on Skykomish hatchery summer chinook but NOT at the expense of the wild winter steelhead. Is there a significant risk to winter steelhead in the Skykomish in June?
