Rob, I don't know who you think this plan is fair to. Maybe CNR steelhead fishermen. maybe.

It sounds like you're asking a bunch of salmon fishermen to sacrifice opportunity so you can have your vision of good steelhead managment.

I think if you want good CNR wild steelhead fishing in the future, your time would be better spent dreaming up ways to improve the habitat, rather than cater the sport regulations and hatchery plans to suit your needs.

Just my $0.02
