Yup, I'm sooo pissed about nets these days that's twice in a week I've mentioned them in a steelhead thread...

Anyway, I have agreed with this idea forever. I think it should be widespread; pick 12-15 rivers statewide that have the best chance and do it. Take another 15 and only supplement with broodstock. Take another 10-15 that are just too far gone and 'old school Cowlitz' them...

Everybody (the meatheads, purists, etc.) gets something, including the fish. Just a thought...
