Reading about the decimation of runs of Natives by "sporties" gets me to wondering about another small river that is I believe currently is closed to steelhead fishing.

What happened to the Dosewallips? It appears to be a river that would support a Run of winter steelhead. Yet is closed to fishing.

Was there at one point a sustainable fishery, and our co managers elected to collect 100% of the run. Or was there some kind of natural disaster that affected the spawning grounds.
