I guess you trust the managers more than I and a lot of others do. They don't have that great of a track record for reversing declining runs and IMO do too little too late. Releasing wild steelhead is a small step and is not much of a sacrifice to do something positive for the fish. I know some rivers on the peninsula that are rate as healthy by the managers haven't been making escapement goals and harvest is still allowed. That makes no sense to me. Other than that I agree with what you said. Plenty of hypocracy to go around, like when someone keeps a big king in a river they get sh!t on but guys that kill them out in the salt get patted on the back.
