so reading between the lines I see a group working with NOAA in hood canal. trying something to save steelhead there. I was told the fishing was great in all those rivers when I was a kid, by the time I ever fished them it stunk. now they don't plant anything there, and its illegal to fish for them there.

I see this other group that wants to do basically the same thing to Puget Sound

in the group that is working on hood canal, I see one name that I recognize from all the fishing articles I have read in my lifetime. he was a congressman.

the Puget Sound group seems to be made up of some high profile names in fishery education, and some names I have heard that do research...

I am not sure I like either direction. that being said, something needs to get fixed. because the Puget Sound runs are maybe slightly better off than the hood canal runs, except the Puget Sound runs have worse freshwater habitat, for the most part.

Maybe its time to just stop, and see if we can turn this thing around. what we are doing is not working.
