So true! Speaking of license sales, I think everyone in here would spend over a 100$ on a steelhead tag if it meant rivers were properly managed and enforced. As steelheaders we spend a lot of money on fuel, food, lodging, gear, etc.

I never see any enforcement on Puget sound rivers, I see fish checkers and LEO's almost on a daily basis in Idaho? IS it lack of funding as to why there is no enforcement on the Pilchuck and Sauk?

It would be hard to beat the Sauk for river structure, scenery, location, and Native Steel anywhere on this planet. Thanks all for posting pics..sure miss Feb/March/April!
