Thanks for the diversion into fantasy and absurdity Todd! Your imagination is eccentrically interesting and your propaganda provides considerable embellishment to the conversation yet, witticism excluded, ignores the questions:

Why have the wild steelhead numbers on all of the Canadian C&R rivers that empty into the Straight of Georgia plummeted much like the north sound rivers despite the fact that they are all "protected" with mandatory wild steelhead release?

Or why the wild steelhead populations on the Quillayute have remained stable despite the fact that thousands of wild steelhead are harvested annually?
