Steelhead
I don't know that I've seen this covered here. See: https://wdfw.wa.gov/sites/default/f...s/petitions/petition-wild-steelhead-83123.pdf
If granted it seems to me this has the potential severely curtail fishing, particularly in the Puget Sound region. The petition will be addressed at the WDFW Commission meeting 10/27 and 10/28.
Beyond any fishing impacts, the petition raises a lot of questions in my mind as to how it interplays with prior decision making under ESA regarding steelhead and resident rainbow.
