It's going to be hard for any wild runs to recover when they have been netted to damn near extinction in alot of systems. I agree that habit loss is a factor but the biggest factor is the lack of fish left. It's no different with steelhead then what we have seen happen in the last ten years to the chum runs. When they found value in the roe, the fish went away quickly. Alot of things have changed since the boldt decision but the #1 factor is over netting. Anyone who can't see that is wasting time trying to convince many others. Now on top of that they have pushed us all into a few select rivers to fight over the scraps til they are gone.
