Just wandering if char species such as dolly varden are native to puget sound and coastal streams. Have they been around just as long as salmon and steelhead have? If so I doubt we have anything to worry about.
On some streams I fish I've had my best steelheading days and my best dolly days as well!

Go figure.

This is one of mother natures ways of filtering out the week and only the strong will survive!

Tell me did mother nature build all of the dams and not care about fish passage or did we?

Did mother nature send all of these commercial boats out to slaughter all these fish or do we.

One thing we can't ever do is blame mother nature for declining fish runs.

If mother nature can bring back steelhead and salmon to the Toutle well you know
