Maybe more focus could be put on rivers like the Cowichan, Nanaimo, Englishman, Big Q, Little Q, Oyster, Quinsam, Salmon, Nimpkish. Just saying there are plenty of candidates in the "work needs to be done" category that would get more return on investment due to there proximity to population.
Given the general decline in winter runs coastwide and hatchery steelhead on the Stamp, I find it highly unlikely that meaningful dollars will be spent on steelhead on any of these systems.
It looks like things will continue to limp along as they have for the last 20 years.
