Here is what I was talking about last week.

http://wdfw.wa.gov/fish/regs/wild_steelhead_moratorium_ces.htm

"Would support any number between 5 and 7. Would propose that wild steelhead retention is allowed on the Skokomish, Hamma Hamma and Duckabush rivers. Allowing wild steelhead retention will provide more fishing opportunities there and would not result in a negative impact on the wild steelhead runs. On the Skokomish there is no clear distinction between wild and hatchery steelhead. Should not use the term “wild steelhead”, but marked and unmarked instead. Should consider the total run when setting regulations for this river."

Homer,

I see. But that looks like a suggestion from the public, not by WDFW staff members. Department staff have told me those rivers are averaging only about 100 wild spawners per year each. That's hardly an endorsement of harvesting wild steelhead from the HC tribs.

Sincerely,

Salmo g.

Good enough for me.

I most have not done my drugs when I read it the first time!

Thanks!
