On the coast, yes...on Puget Sound streams harvest is far, far, far down the list of what they are being depressed by...habitat destruction beats harvest by many magnitudes on "killing" steelhead in Puget Sound.

Fishing here and in Hood Canal has pretty much been completely stopped for a lot more than two cycles...but since the spawning habitat is shot, the rearing habitat is shot even more, predictably it made not even an appreciable dent in the decline.

Fish on...
