It was brought to my attention that it looks like there is some movement to try and reverse the regs on "no kill" on the North Umpqua for winter steelhead and even potentially the Main Stem. The 1 a day and 5 a season was removed a few years back and it went to a no kill on wild steelhead. As it should be. This self sustain wild run of fish is an anomaly in this day in age.  The genetics for big awesome winter fish is there. It is a special place and very special fish.What has our track record been on restoring self sustaining wild fish run? Pretty crumy.  There are plenty of rivers in the area and the state that you have a high probability of catching a fish without an adipose fin to bonk on the head and throw on the grill. The North Umpqua wild winter steelhead should not be one of them. Too Precious.

A guide buddy that works the North Umpqua has started this petition. Please look it over sign it and pass it around. Hopefully the Native Fish Society and other groups will work against the reg changes as well.

Thanks and heres the link to the Petition.
