is the Gold a C&R river? If so for how long? It kind of caught me off guard when you first mentioned this crisis. I always thought BC rivers were healthier than ours...sounds like that isn't the case . We must share this alarming decline. This article does mention Steelhead as a species of salmon though....They say it is the only species of salmon to survive spawning. Well trout survive spawning last time I checked. I think the forest prctices up in BC need a serious look...probably too late though. Whatever happened to that on pristine wilderness that they wanted to log? All super old growth...and one of the last pristine habitats...can't remember the name...rain forest?

Do the Alaska commercials figure into this? I know they are pissed at Canada up in Alaska and have been hammering BC river fish.

Keep us posted if you find anything new.
