Here comes WFC....lol

Welcome,

I've only read about the Great Lakes steelhead fisheries.. Sounds like a lot of fun. Isn't return rates somewhere around 10-15%??

Don't get too excited about WA steelheading...Puget sound is just about shut down for good, other areas are seeing increased pressure and downward trends also. Not a pretty picture. Enjoy what you have over there!





I talked to the indiana dnr today and asked them about the return rate. I was told that we don't really have a way to monitor the returns. I was told that, if he were to guess it is 10-20 percent. I don't actually know whaf that means so I couldn't confirm or deny that info. Sorry that I couldn't get a better answer for you.
