Please Kevin.....Get a clue!

You need to go for a ride with me around the upper Nehalem and some of it's tribs.

It is anything but pure.

Coastal stocks in N.W. Oregon are in much better shape than they were 20 years ago. CnR of natives is probably the biggest reason.

But now, people think we need to take native stocks out of the gravel to create broodstock fish.

So the decline continues once again.
