Rvrfshr,

I'm so happy to oblige! You're quite welcome!

Smalma,

I'm not sure how we can treat the resident component in the consultaion. I think we ought to examine it, but NMFS has superimposed a policy boundary over biology by not considering resident rainbows as the same species as steelhead in terms of ESA listings. Fish that are not anadromous are non-jurisdictional since they are not a "marine" species. I'll have to check with the Science Center to see how we're supposed to deal with this. This has to have come up on the mid C, so there ought to be some policy direction. Kinda' like our legal jurisdiction ends at the US border, but fish migrations don't.

We should have an interesting time with this.
