IF......the runs truly need protection, if they are truly depressed and on the decline, if everyone really cares about "the wild steelhead" then.....

SHUT THE RIVERS DOWN TO FISHING AND QUIT HARRASSING A DEPRESSED STOCK OF FISH!!!

Can someone tell me why that is so difficult? Why put in a law that allows harassment of something that "you all" say needs protecting?

If you think your better than the "bonkers" because you CnR, your foolish and in COMPLETE denial. And if the "Bonkers" think they are better than the commercials, they too are in denial. Same goes for the commercials to the natives. All in denial. etc.

We all have one desire and thats to fish.

Lets all get together and save the fish for fishermen. Whether thier bonkers or CnR or Tribal or commercial or whatever. Salmon and Steelhead are EXTREMLY resiliant and given half a chance will be just fine.

Why can't we get together and save this damn fish!!!!!

The energy put into this 18+ page post alone is proof of the energy here.

WSR is a tool not an answer. It is being touted as an answer and that is selfish and dangerous. This is everyones resource and legislation should incorporate everyones needs.

AFTER the damn fish has recovered. If there are harvestable fish. There should be a harvest season.

The answer is simple, if the river doesn't have a sustainable stock, shut it down to everyone.

If it does, put a just limit for all parties involved. 1 fish ,5 fish, 0 fish whatever is necessary.

It's called a managed fishery........
