We’re taking this petition to the Meeting with ODFW to stop the restrictions for harvesting Wild Steelhead and to keep our current restrictions as they are and to protect our right to harvest one a day and three for the year

The ODFW cannot ignore the groundswell of anger pouring in from people who refuse to let them strip away our rights. This momentum proves that we are united against their baseless attempts to destroy our harvest limits.

This year was the most native steelhead, I've ever caught...i caught and released morr than salmon this year... And most released didn't make it...will this large popluation of steelhead... Keeping some should not impact the population that much... And if it does we can modify the harvest.
Those who want to ban harvest of wild steelhead are not basing their argument on facts or science, but emotion. They have the right to release any wild steelhead they catch. They don’t have the right to dictate what other anglers do.
We have an awesome steelhead fishery on the lower Rogue even with limited retention of wild steelhead. There is simply no reason to change the regulations in response to a petition from the Native Fish Society - a radical self righteous environmental group which cherry picks science to support their agenda of no hatcheries and only limited opportunities to catch and release wild fish.
Keep the limits the way they are. There should be a bigger number of Hatchery (clipped fin) fish that are released into the river that would prompt more people to release the wild fish.
Please leave well enough alone. Current regulations are getting the job done, numbers are up! Fished steelhead on the Rogue 3 days this year, 8 fish hooked, ALL were WILDS!
ODFW abuses it’s regulatory power. Another bureaucracy that must be put in check. Administrative law in many accounts is not lawful, but an abuse of power.
I have volunteered for OFWildlife for years and the existing limits are reasonable, please keep them .. Thank You

Coming over fishing the rogue is the best dress ready for me and it's so nice to be able to take one home to help feed my family
