Salmo, what I'm saying is curtailing harvest didn't recover the steelhead, yet when ocean conditions up tick stocks rebound.
Doesn't that say seem odd? When spawner numbers crash due to bad ocean conditions, yet when ocean conditions turn good these same stocks almost instantly increase.
So if harvest was in fact a real issue, curtailment of harvest would have similar results, but we know that doesn't happen.
Curtailing harvest hasn't done anything but reduce angler opportunities.
