Nobody has opened up any special CNR seasons on wild steelhead.

You can still fish and you can still harvest hatchery fish. You will not be able to bonk a native fish (Isn't most everyone is doing that anyway?)

Rumor has it that only one river has a population of fish that is healthy. Rumor also has it that Wdfw didn't want to make that the only river that harvest of natives was allowed to prevent over harvest on that river.

WSR is not going to fix the problem but it will slow the problem until the natural ocean cylcles reverse and survival becomes much better.

Nobody is disputing that a total ban on fishing would be better for the fish. When the populations of wild fish fall to low and escapement is not being met the WDFW will close fishing entirely on those rivers.

Does any of that not make sence? Now would everybody please go out and catch a fish!
