SBD....I was just trying to figure out why, with the huge increase in hatchery plants around 76, there were so many commercials that folded.
Did the Canadians get them all, the Tribes, or ?
My personal steelheading experience was that two years after Boldt, the steelheading fell on it's face. I remember writing a disgusted note on my punch card when I turned it in. that would have been 76.

It's hard to believe that with a 4+ fold increase in plants that the numbers I saw were so dramatically reduced. It could be that I only recall the decline in steelhead and not salmon....I'm not sure now.
