One more quick question. Does anyone really know just how long steelhead have been native to Washington State (i.e. 200, 500, 1000 years or whatever) or how old the "specie" steelhead is?

That too may help us (including me) to understand why the steelhead populations are continuing to head downward. Could it be that they (steelhead) are just beginning to start an end to a life cycle in fish evolution?
