One more total horse$hit move on the Yakima's part.

The wild trout population(s) Todd speaks of are/were (mostly) non-native to the basin's past, so the fact that their numbers temporarily tumble each time a crappy salmon substitute is "re-introduced"... can be lived with to a certain extent. What can't and shouldn't be lived with is a further decline in the few hundred remaining ESA listed native steelhead that swim/spawn in the same shared reaches as the now present, and future implemented "lemon-lime" salmon tards.

This will compliment nicely Red's (or whomever the hell's it is), new "Lodge in the Canyon"... chuck'n duckin for supposed fall trout, as the great "new oppurtunity" salmon happen to be convienently present. Marshall Warden Law can then hand out mountains of citations for targeting tribal recovery efforts.

Snag/terminal fishery iminent for the mouth of the Cle Elum in a couple of years, with the new single most desired lure for the river in October... a 3/8 th's oz. silver spoon rigged with a 3/0 siwash... Bull$hit !
