i live in olympia, so the wynoochee and cowlitz are my two closest summer steelhead streams. i'd almost rather fish the wynoochee any day of the week, even if catching is a lot tougher(it is). just a lot more peaceful that time of year out there.

seeing the program go would be a real shame. really wish they could reduce funding to programs which are not successfull(puyallup steelhead?) and in turn put that money towards those that provide more bang for the buck.
