These so-called "steelhead" you see in stores aren't really steelhead at all. They're farm-raised Atlantic Salmon (name changed to make it sound more exotic). If you want to buy the "real thing" go down to the Pike Street Market (in Seattle) and the fish buyers there are able to buy steelhead from the Indian's and sell them for next to nothing. This time of year you can find plenty of nice nates that make your stomach turn. Buying goods from these "fish whores" are only supporting the further kill of our native stocks. Take away the commercial market and maybe the Tribes will see the real value of these fish. Guiding on a river with a strong steelhead run will bring them far more money than wholesale slaughter of nates at a buck a pound. I don't hold a grudge for Indian personal use but I find selling nates to be gross misuse of a special resource.
