There is plenty of steelhead. WA fishing is HOTT as far as I'm concerned. We have six gill shark, sturgeon, salmon, perch. Not much else I'm interested in as far as fish. And you don't eat nor keep the six gills. Led alone even remove them from the water. I'm not into catchin a few lil bass and throwin them back. I harvest for food. Only thing I do for "fun" is six gill fishing from the pier.

They are now on the Endangered Species list. In fact the majority of the salmon runs are now on the ESA. Smelting use to be "huge", it is now closed due to being on the ESA.Hard to say fishing is "HOTT" when every couple years another run becomes federally protected under the ESA.
