The South Fork has no hatchery for Winter Runs. If you are a supporter of Wild Steelhead Release, I would ask you to not fish this run of fish. One thing we can all agree on is that there is some mortality on released fish. This is the run that the Area 5 biologist (can't remember his name) stated was in danger of extinction if WDFW was succesful in getting the ESA steelhead impact raised to 6 or 7% in the Columbia River Spring Chinook fishery. These fish deserve our care, every one is precious, and we are on notice that there is a serious problem here. My $.02 for what its worth.
