Is it better to take no action than some action? I support any efforts to restore river delta's and estuaries in the Puget Sound region. And Benny, the next step may be to protect spawning habitats....But specifically in the case of the Skagit River sytem which includes all the forks of the Skagit, the Sauk, Suiattle, Whitechcuck and other streams, enhancing(protecting though is a different story..) spawning grounds is of lesser concern. Many of those headwaters are in fine shape for spawners these days since vast improvements have been made over the years as to timber practices in this particular watershed. Pollution & development are really not the issue in most mid & upper reaches of these rivers/streams. They may infact, be in some of the best shape out of all the Puget Sound rivers. In a sense, only the coastal rivers may have -more natural "purity" from top to bottom.
Good Fishing, Darin
