When you say WDFW works for you and me you are half right. They work for you and me half the time and the other half for the tribes who are all but controlling our fisheries. We are being politically correct to the point of cutting our own throats.

I would guess that less than 50% support total C&R of steelhead. Maybe less. So being politically correct and trying not to pi$$ anyone off ..after appeasing the indians, of course, and the commercials I would say that the wild steelhead C&R support is small...by comparison. Remember that releasing wild steelhead would be forgone opportunity to be scooped up by the tribes. So it isn't cut and dried or black and white to WDFW. What good would it really do for sports fishers to release the wild steelhead so they can get gill netted? NET ZERO
