Thanks Jim, I had the exact same question. I fish mostly on the East side and just a few rivers over west. Wild steelhead release has always just been a fact of life for me. I wonder if it would be easier to go after fish and game on a river by river basis as they already have the "state wide wild release" in effect. A petition such as described here just seem redundant. Would it be possible to isolate the few rivers where F&G allows wild take so the issue is more directed. ( please don't read this as I think the petition is a poor idea because I do think it's a good idea)

just my opinion
