This paper is actually only an extra credit assignment so that I am assured I get a 4.0 in this class. But I do wish I had more time with this and within the near future I would like to go into very deep detail about this issue beacuse I believe that it is very important because I do believe, considering the status of the wild steelhead, that it is possible to have a C&R season on the Wenatchee and the Methow. The Wenatchee just a few years ago was having great returns. Plus I also believe that closing the Upper Columbia tribs to trout fishing is assonine for many differnt reasons. My goal IS NOT necassarily to get them unlisted because I belive having them listed is very beneficial for the fish but I do belive because all true native steelhead in the Upper Columbia are extinct, a C&R fishery would be very possible and would add money to the economy of the area and also take alot of fishing pressure of the Snake and Snake River tribs. such as the Grande Rhonde.
Thank for all your help so far!!
