Those numbers came from a expert steelhead biologist from trout unlimited and from the Wild Steelhead Coalition. I don't have an agenda. I am just reporting facts. If you are such an expert where are your numbers? You can't even find the numbers yourself. The reason there are more wild fish in those rivers i mentioned is because they have been closed. is that too difficult for you to figure out? If you knew anything you would know that the Nisqually has good habitat. What is your agenda? Contact well known and respected steelhead bio John McMillan of Trout Unlimited If you want numbers. Can you figure that out? The agenda of the Wild Steelhead Coalition is to bring back wild steelhead to the numbers so that we can have a c/r fishery for them using selective gear rules. Since you proclaim to be a fly fisherman you should know what that means. They have proposed a c/r steelhead fishery on the Skagit and were hoping it would happen in 2018. Do your research.
