Smalma, Have you read Ralph Wahl's book, "One Man's Steelhead Shangra La" ? Ralph fished for summer-runs (steelhead) starting in I believe the 1930's in a large side channel of the Skagit that is long since washed out. There was a small creek with a canyon stretch that was said to house the summer spawners. My question is; are there any remnants of a native summer-run left and if there is the possibility of a remnant run wouldn't they be affected? I know alot of us catch summers in the P.S. rivers that are "wild" every now and then but I would hope such delicate runs wouldn't be affected.
