I completely agree... but for some eco-blockheads these fish would be returning from the salt in two or three years as the great Steelhead we know and love in the Northwest. What a shame! But as I've been telling others, we have the opportunity to make lemonade out of lemons... a truly once in a lifetime opportunity. Enjoy reading your reports, always. PTL! ... hein19... look for the clipped Adipose fin!

10/29/2014 5:06:00 PMAll of these BONUS stocks of "Trout" in the King & Snohomish county lakes are the Steel head that were blocked from release by the Conversation Society in Duvall. They took the WDFG to court and sued , thus blocking the release of Steelhead until the federal government approves the HSA (Hatchery plan),
The concern is whether wild steelhead can compete with Hatchery fish in our rivers.
Somebody even went and cut the holding gate @ Tokul creek hatchery and released 200 fish which won't matter since the regulations will have the entire Snoqualmie closed during the hatchery season when they were scheduled to return.
great fish. Congrats. I need to get in on that action.
Great planning!
