I hope most of you realize that a regulation to ban retention of wild Steelhead is counterproductive to your goal. The wild Steelhead allocated to the anglers would then be realocated to the tribes so all you would achieve is less total fish in the river. You are much better off folowing your conscious and releasing wild Steelhead on your own.

Every year the state and the tribes determine how many wild fish are expected to return to their given river and how many can be caught. If somehow that number can be changed s a much higher number must be allowed to return to the spawning grounds (escapement), then something will have been accomplished. That number would not have to move much higher for no retention of wild Steelhead to be put in place.
