Dizzy,

Sorry about putting you on the spot, since you've lived in WA only 4 years, but please tell me exactly what WDFW has done, or not done, that has let this river system go to hell in a hand basket.

The Snohomish system has among the healthiest wild coho, pink, and chum salmon populations anywhere in the state. All Puget Sound steelhead populations, hatchery and wild, have been in the bucket the last few years, and the proximate cause appears to be something in the marine environment that WDFW nor any other natural resource government agency controls. So for clarity's sake, please advise what WDFW's doing wrong, as I know people there who can change things.

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
