The current limits on wild steelhead are adequate to protect the existing wild fish.

3 wild fish a year is not a lot. Leave the restrictions in place the way they are. Don’t let the fly fishermen purists make the decisions on how to regulate the rivers. This is not science based, it’s emotion based.

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.

We need good returns of the steelhead to help the environment return to about normal

We are getting regulated out of exsistance. It's time to put our foot down and speak up. Fight back. We all love wild steelhead and most of us release them but every once in awhile, it is nice to take one home for the table. If more hatchery fish were released into the system, it would make it even easier to let the wild ones go. So in my opinion, it is not the take of wild fish that is the problem, it's the fact that we need to release more hatchery fish so that the pressure to take a wild fish is lessened.

Not real familiar with the situation on the South Coast and not a fan of the NFS. But, be careful what you ask for. Allowing retention of wild fish adds credence to the argument that wild stocks are in good condition and there is no need for hatchery supplementation. NFS can use that argument to close hatcheries and once they're closed, they're closed. Then, if wild stocks decline, NFS will petition to close all retention and you're f'ckd.

Stopping the harvest will do more harm than good. I have spent many hours on the water and have witnessed first hand people pretty much kill fish before "releasing " them.
