Rich..I am not slamming WSC's efforts at all. I was merely saying that the same point was made over and over again..that is fine. I guess I should regroup and restate my position. I am for wild steelhead release and C&R in general as long as it is not used to create exclusionary fisheries. If it just means no harvest of wild fish for EVERYONE then that is good. If it means a statewide ban on retention of wild steelhead by sports fisheers only then that is BS. This is a small piece of the puzzle and I applaud all of you for sacrificing the time as I have to voice your opinions and get involved. Keep it up. I am searching for more answers here and not trying to belittle any of the efforts to improve fisheries....

As far as the tribes go ....pacificnw which tribe are you a member of?
