Here is what i have been trying to tell you guys for years now and it should be painfully obvious now.... WDFW does not give a **** about you, about sport fishing or about wild steelhead! THEY DO NOT CARE!!!! quit playing your little games about whats the best way to manage the resourse in terms of harvest it doesn't matter.. harvest is harvest and harvest has ALWAYS IN EVERY SINGLE CASE ruined steelhead runs.. Harvest is the problem, sport tribal or whatever.. we need to flat out end the harvewst of steelhead PERIOD.. anything short of that is doomed to failure and WDFW is dead set on obeying their God (MSY) They literally worship a mathematical model and trust in it despite all evidence to the contrary. They worship it inspite of it leading every steelhead run in the state of ruin to the brink of extinction ( except thoes now in question).

If you are missing my point here it is..

MSY is wrong and as long as WDFW continues to use it to manage wild steelhead stocks there is no point in arguing any element of harvest.. The same number of fish will die. A surplus if wild steelhead is an ill fated concept, a river knows and naturally limits how many fish it can handle and if there are too many it will work that out on it's own.. but the A..es at WDFW think they know more than God about steelhead..
here is the solution, scrap MSY, fire Bob Gibbons and make it clear that he is being fired because of gross neglegence and incompetence and that his entire career at WDFW is a failure. also can Koenig.. They are failures and need to be canned.. we need a WDFW that cares about wild steelhead and is willing to tell the tribes and us sporties to go to hell and do whats right to save the fish!
