How about this idea, implement WSR, no exceptions, on a rivers where there is current healthy runs of wild steelhead, instead of waiting to implement it on depressed run.

But would that be proactive rule to help preserve wild steelhead and still allow angling opportunity.

Remember there are still hatchery steelhead for harvest.

BTW, How does selective gear rules always get defined has flyfishing only?
