Can you imagine what it would be like to wake up in Seattle on a misty March morning and struggle to decide which of Puget Sound’s prolific 49 wild steelhead rivers and streams to fish that day? Can you imagine what it would be like to catch two wild steelhead and be disappointed by how slow the day was? And can you imagine what it would feel like to wade waist-deep into the Snohomish River knowing that 225,000 wild steelhead were swimming around in those same waters?
It is a now-or-never moment for the wild steelhead. The decisions we make, the actions we take, and the conservation efforts we support today will determine whether the legacy of "Steelhead Country" endures or fades away.
