You seem to be implying that the fish are not returning to those streams. Fact is that in recent years there have been significant increases in both numbers of fish returning, rivers where those returns are occurring, and related fishing opportunities. Icicle River Chinook, Yakima River, and main stem Columbia for sockeye just to name a few. You might want to check out the CR Endorsement report which was recently released.
