What Jeff and others might be catching are just SRCs (Sea-Run Cutthroat). They are native to are area and thanks to a state wide CnR program they have returned in numbers. They also stay close to the shores mostly in shelterd bays and estuaries for a few months and then spend time in creeks/rivers.

As for introducing SRBs I would have to object as they would compeate for food and space with resident coho, SRCs, SR Bull Trout, blackmouth, and compeate with other fish for space while spawning/feeding/living in the rivers.
