There was a report published by the Quinalt tribe that concluded that there were too many steelhead in the OP rivers. It stated that if we didnt harvest fish, then there would be too many fish competing for spawning gravel and that none of the fish would be able to spawn. In the SAME article, they also said back in the day (50's and 60's), that 60,000+ steelies a year were harvested in the OP rivers.
How can those two statements come from the same article? Doesnt that contradict itself?
Where are those fish now?

My opinion on the matter is that we need to manage the rivers for maximum returns of fish, not maximum harvest of fish.
