Do wild steelhead that get tangled in gill nets die more often then wild steelhead hooked in the mouth and released with proper handling techniques?

Do tribes continually set quotas off un-realistic projected returns, only to have the commercials influance WDFW to go along with those numbers?

Are escapement goals rarely if ever reached, yet netting continues?

CAN JAY INSLEE DO A DAMN THING TO STOP CHIEF LOW HOLE AND COWBOY BOB FROM BUISNESS AS USUAL?

Dunno, maybe I'm missing something here, but it seems like the players that impact steelhead recovery the most are NEVER addressed. Hello, there is an elephant in the room!

I applaud the effort, the petitions, the frustration, but the sad reality is that this state could give a rats ass about the sport fishermen.

Ya, I'm pessimistic, but then again, after spending 40 years watching the fishing in this state spiral down I think I earned it!
