Time after time, it is so easy for us to point the finger at someone else. I did an analysis a while back looking at wild steelhead harvest by the tribes and by us, the sportsmen. It did surprise me when I saw the impact we have is greater than the Tribes. One by one we make little impact, as a group our impact is huge. And I say this not to say that our harvest is the only or even the biggest problem. My thesis is that habitat (and its loss) is the biggest challenge facing our fish. But to deny our impact is to lose all credibility in the arguement - it just isn't true.
