They should have never opened it up.I think this is a joke.I wonder how many smolt's are gonna be effected by this????.I heard they only found 8 spawning pairs of steelhead this year.What little Chinook / Coho / Sockeye / Steelhead smolts are there, will be fewer when this fishery is finally closed.Good luck,

P.S. I grew up fishing this river but have no desire to fish it for trout,Maybe some day the steelhead will come back!!!!!.
