Dave,

I hate to rain on a parade, but I'd suggest holding off a bit. First, I'd not plan it without thinking it through to the intended outcome and how this would fit in to the picture. Second, like jaydee points out, they don't have any for sale today. Hmmm, protest gone flat and wasted effort and possible media attention. Third, how about a representative organization contacting and attempting to set up a meeting or meetings with the fish houses at Pike Place and other major fish mongers in the metropolitan area. Explain the issue about wild steelhead and give them an opportunity to consider this side of the picture. Maybe they would voluntarily refuse to purchase and sell wild steelhead. (Consider the marketing confusion for a moment. Wild salmon in the marketplace simply means free-swimming in the ocean and includes hatchery salmon.) Another possibility is that fish houses may have to agree to buy a tribe's steelhead in order to also buy their salmon, creating a tougher business choice for them.

Just some thoughts.

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
