Salmo.. thats perfect. Right on the money. I see a couple of points addressed that are not mentioned in other posts. Its hard for me to write on this subject. The people who have a job to lose are so few in relation to the impact on the entire northwest that I can't even concider that an issue. This discussion could go on forever on this board, and I read every post with great intrest. Its not about fishing with me. I do love to fish and thats were my intrest started, but as time goes on and I see first hand the impact of poor planning, I can not help but think that this is maybe the worst decision that has ever been made in the north west. If it helped I would not fish for steelhead. Hell, I can't fish for salmon so thats a non-issue. I am willing to admit that as a human, I can be concidered part of the problem, but am also willing to open my eyes and do what I can to set it straight. I have kids. I have taken them up into the Stanley basin to get a look at wild salmon "yes they still exist" and I HOPE they always will. However, the facts are simple. Without action and sacrifice, they will not exist much sooner than people realize
