Admittedly, it's a small thing compared to habitat destruction, pollution, incidental commercial harvest, dams and all the other obstacles that a wild steelhead has to overcome but, that said, it is still something that we can all do that will contribute to the welfare of these fish. In my forty-five years of steelhead fishing I certainly never thought that things would come down to the situation that we are facing today. I would hope that some day there would be enough wild steelhead in the rivers to even allow some harvest by the sportsman, but I don't expect to see that again in my lifetime. If you favor catch-and-release for wild steelhead, PLEASE write the Commission and the Director and make your feelings known.
