I attribute the fish declines on logging i flew over the island in '88 and it was seriously
depressing. I had read about the island for decades and when i finally had the chance it was completely anti-climatic.
A patchwork of clearcut after clearcut.
Funny thing was the fishing sucked A$$ that week off of Barkley sound. I blamed the clearcutting for the bad fishing then and still do today. You can't have clearcutting and still have succesful wild fish rearing going on. It's that simple.
