The death of another wild run certainly isn't a first, but if fish manager's don't start doing things a little differently, the Puyallup steelhead run certainly won't be the last. SO SAD!

WHEW... a measly fifty fish for the peak month of the return. The once grand dame of steelhead producers in Puget Sound is truly in sad shape.... this run may have crossed the threshold of "critical mass" to dodge extinction.

Do fish managers really need a more shaking wake-up call? Is anybody even paying attention?
