You can check the archives if you like I know I posted about it.

Back around 2001 to 2002 we had low water years. the tribe had 4200 wild steelhead stacked like cord wood in the High Tide deep freeze. I went there for an alarm and saw the fish it was late March a worker later told me the count. The tribe/WDFW had reported a total harvest of like 1400 wild steelhead between Jan 1 and March 15 th, (not sure on the details long time ago). I called WDFW and they immediately called me a liar, they never attempted to verify the evidence, they did not care.

Those fish were sold as Halibut bait as I was told since the bottom of the steelhead market had dropped out.
