Well well....Let's hear the argument why you should not be stopped from targetting these fish if they are in such dire straits. Why should you WSR advocates be allowed to fish for wild steelhead if there is such an emergency and escapement goals are not being met? Is it because you will only kill 10-20% of the fish you catch and release? Before you say CnR will help revive the waning steelhead runs better ask Dave Vedder to remind us of the collapse of some of the rivers on Vancouver Island that have practiced CnR for years and have good habitat. Bottom line is that I don't think anyone has the answer. Stopping tribal gill netting and sale of wild steelhead would be a much more noble goal. [/QB][/QUOTE]
