This thread is about the Hood Canal. If I wanted generalized information about the overall depletion of fisheries throughout wa, let alone everywhere, I would go to one of the various other fisheries rant threads that continually take place on this forum. One the biggest down falls to steelhead management has been the generalizations in fisheries management- unjustified optimistic ussumptions, and a lack of attention to detail. A simplistic approach to the depletion of the Hood Canal salmon and steelhead restoration, assuming that the same thing is happening to them as everywhere else, will ultimately aid their downfall. There is a large number of things impacting these fish, and each issue should be handled individualy with the utmost attention to detail.
