When I retired in 1997, I did brood stocking for winter run Steelhead on the Satsop River.....My money, my time, my effort, lots of wild steelhead "tubed up", some big fish.....

Project seemed to be doing good, returns were showing, OPPS, Cowlitz went to xhit, guess who showed up with boat loads of "pay to kill fishers", program ended.

Right now, on the Wynoochee River, 70 Native/Wild have been removed from the trap, hauled about the Dam, no way to get out.......so between TCL and WDFW, they are killing wild steelhead every year......grrrrrrr
