And not one of these limited harvest streams have ever had any of their managed stocks listed as threatened or endangered, which is proof positive that it can be done with no danger of depleting the native stocks.
So how can southern Oregon rivers sustain such a radically different management style than most of us used to? It's the habitat, or volume there of that makes the difference.
The point is to be proactive instead of reactive! Why try and risk the unknown, "Well we guessed that one wrong!" This is one of the last healthy stocks left.
The argument here isn't the debate of how many fish we have currently, there is no doubt we have a great run. The argument is protecting what he have for future generations. I would love to take my kid out and let him catch a 20 lb. WILD steelhead, take a couple of photos and then watch it swim away.
FREESPOOL - Your attitude is very "OLD SCHOOL" and that mentality will not promise a strong future. Here is some food for thought, would you rather have the
opportunity to go fish and catch 5 or 10 r 15 or 20 wild steelhead in a day or would rather sit around and reminisce about how the "Good 'OL Days" were. "Were" being past tense!
With the technology and techniques that we have today, it is only a matter of time before push these fish over the breaking point!
