The steelhead Trout (in my opinion a Trout) is the Crown Jewel of sport fishing, coincedentally native to the last portion of the U.S. to be heavily populated. Notwithstanding the people who were here long enough to eradicate them if they were as stupid as our manager's. I went to a meeting year's ago when one of my favorite fishing opportunity's was being outlawed. I was there to ask for a c&r reg. instead of a total closure. Now the entire river system and many other's are closed in order to protect the hatchery steelhead. Incredible we have let this go down. Have you guy's seen one of the meeting's on tv half the people involved in setting our reg's haven't even got a working knowledge of what state the fisheries are in. Anyway native (stream born) Steelhead should not be removed from any stream in the state until there's so many that Tarpon look like runner's up.
