Rob thanks for not calling me an idiot..you're making progress on the anger thing. Let's just say I totally disagree with you about your politics and your stand on opposing hatcheries. I disagree about WT's motives and don't believe a word you say in defense of them... and I am talking about salmon fishing so the topic of steelhead /trout has not come up from me. Lots of evidence on the this board of fantastic salmon fishing in your area this summer ...I bet the fish will fill the rivers this fall..unless too many are netted. Maybe if your steelhead were not commercially harvested both on purpose and as bycatch their stocks would rebound too. I have first hand experience this summer of releasing 5 to one wild over hatchery salmon as well.

Your wild only boutique fishing idea is just bunk. Sorry but that's the way I see it.
