Our Steelhead...
Well guys this has broght me to a summation that what we have is an offspring of our conviction to repair the wrong doing's of man and his water politics (dams). Humm in a nut shell, what naturaly spawning fish that are present is a relative percentage of the overall population, set in stone (sort-of-speak). Never increasing in numbers do to the lack of habitat and most likely of the fish's own self demise. Noting the finite number of reds avialable and in use, and reuse, and over used, shall keep their populous to a set percentage with the lack of successful spawns. Is there a fix?? Not sure... Will introduction or cloned intrevention or stray spawners be the answer?? I think it might be our saving grace... when the hatchery machine depletes the gene pool it's all we have to draw from. So call them natural, wild, etc... angels might be best to describe them. Lets protect them for the children just picking up thier first fly rod today...
Thanks for letting me vent my 2 cents
