Some of the hatchery summer steelhead have successfully spawned in the Green River (King County) and there are now some wild summer steelhead returning to the Green. Prior to the moratorium folks were allowed to harvest those fish - much like your Sol Duc springs. Is it right to protect those fish.

The point of course is that fisheries management is rarely black and white issues and a one size fits all management has the potential to bite one in the rear.
Smalma-
I am not totally familiar with the situation on the Green but I am guessing they do not have the potential for the self-sustaining population that the SF Sky does...or maybe they do. But anyways...

Most importantly, I understand just where you are coming from and just where you are headed. But at this time, given the overly large number of threads dedicated to the subject, I would rather it not begin again in this thread as well. ;\)
