Cowlitz,

It is very important to some people. But we have proven it cant happen under the current way we manage our rivers. To many wild fish have been harvested and continue to be harvested, but most not by sport fishers.

The way I see it the only way we can still have long term oportunity and still have a resource is to go total CnR.

I believe our real fight is agianst comercial harvest and as long as we are still harvesting wild steelhead we are going to have a hard time convincing that they are the problem standing in the way.

Too see the big picture you need to look below the serfice to see what total no exceptions CnR would start rolling.
