Curt:

You are correct.......Region 6, during NOF, only talk about salmon.....no steelhead and no sturgeon are allowed to be mentioned at any meeting that I've attended BUT I've found a way around this on the Wynoochee. Wynoochee mitigation is for both salmon and steelhead, so I bring it up at NOF but am careful to talk only to the Coho part of the mitigation. Doesn't matter cause nothing gets done.....25 years, going for 26 years, SOS, just different year.
