I enjoyed fishing some of the Hood Canal Rivers as well in my younger years. It really is a shame so see the condition they are in today.

This harvest plan should answer some of the questions on here.

This has an escapement chart and last plant date chart of Hood Canal rivers. Hood Canal rivers haven’t been planted ranging from 6 to 20 years on hatchery winter steelhead and the last summer plant was in 1981. Even though these rivers haven’t had hatchery plants the escapements are about the same as in the last year that they were planted.
There is a hatchery supplementation program started on a handful of these rivers to see if they can give them a jump start like OncyT and Salmo G said.
Habitat restoration is ongoing.
It would be nice to see these rivers productive again if possible.
