ODFW yesterday announced it would drop plans to harvest wild winter steelhead on the North Umpqua! Thank you to everyone who signed the petition. Stay vigilant because the greedy bait guides on that river will not give up and will no doubt mount a big push in 2012


That is bull$hit right there. That proposal had little support from local fishing guides. Every guide I know would not endorce any kill fishery on steelhead in Oregon rivers. There is no need.

It is widely supported from local sportfisherman who have always been able to keep a wild fish on that river and are now being told no. Try and take away something you've always been able to do and see how happy you are. I think it is a great thing and those fish should be protected.
