Lifter99, I don't know if it's fair to say the tribe over fished the Steelhead runs and that they caused the collapse. I think you could easily blame both sides. I fished it prior to the word getting out and yes, the fishing was very good. However, WDFW didn't want to keep it a secret so they put the word out about how healthy the wild run was and had it open for fishing and KILLING two wild fish right till the end of April, one of the few rivers open that late. It went from a very quite river with very little sportfishing pressure, to a very busy river with lots of pressure and lots of killing. I think both user groups just took way too many fish. As one posters tag line reads........................dead fish don't spawn.
