Statewide wild steelhead release was a hot topic at the last regulations hearings, but there was heavy opposition from Bob Gibbons, WDF&W staffer in Olympia. He is pro wild steelhead kill on the Penninsula including small streams like Gibbons creek.I saw his briefing to the commission and it was pro increased take. If we keep at it maybe there will be change.
BTW, I wonder how many wild steelhead and silvers the nets got in the Columbia after being in the river most of the month...
