Chatham's Article....
Short version, to me the point was that fishing for Steelhead has gone to h__l in a hand basket and that recreational fishers/fishing doesn't really contribute to the catastrophic decline in numbers. Chatham lays the major part of the blame on destruction/lack of habitat. There's much more in it than that and I enjoyed the article. Chatham has expressed this view in much of his writings but he sounds a bit more strident these days. I'm a big fan of Chatham and have all of the books he wrote.
Walter, the intended humor was nothing more than that, as you observed, you and Chatham share similar, maybe not all points of view (I guess I do too). Sorry I can't offer much more.
Hope your need for humor isn't due to any major, negative life event....
