After over 50 years of steelhead fishing I too am wondering if fishing for wild steelhead is right. There are so many factors that have discouraged me including targeting wild fish. The overcrowding, poaching, netting etc. It's all a cluster fawk and I'm sick of it. Sadly there are still groups out there that will be more than happy to fish them out if given the chance. One of course is the tribes. The tribes have already asked for more wild fish since the sport fisherman is releasing them. Such intelligent thinking.
