Fair enough, sorry I shouldn't have called them your friends...I'll just suggest they are pressing a single issue as the saviour of steelhead(if we fix it). The cause, and therefore solution(s), are not that simple is really my point. I never once suggested mixed stock, non-selective fisheries weren't having some impact - just that they are not the real smoking gun IMO.
And, that the way forward for all of us (recreational, FN, commercial) is to explore ways we can see a different future - one built around a more prosperous selective harvest.
And, lets get there via respectful discussion where we listen to everyone's needs and get excited together about how we can to a better place for them and the fish.
And, lets not limit our thinking and recovery efforts to just one problem and solution - that would be a waste of time and talent IMO.
