"Why do most of the guides go to Alaska or Canada?"

There is no kill on wild Steelhead in BC.

"Any guide that has been around here for some time and the old timers can tell you that since the Natives began fishing the rivers commercially everything has disappeared"

As long as there is a sport kill fishery on the rivers you fish, you will NEVER remove the Indian nets from the river. You can not claim to be for the fish as you fillet a 15# wild doe. Don't confuse a true care for the fishery with a "I want more....theyre getting more fish than we are" attitude. If you want to kill fish, then don't complain when someone with a treaty right is killing along side you.
