SOUTHWEST, WA | Wild steelhead now have free reign in over 1,000 sq. miles of Washington watersheds. This includes the
Sol Duc, Wind, East Fork Lewis, North Fork Toutle / Green, Grays and Chinook rivers. Never again will any of these Wild
Steelhead Gene Banks be planted with hatchery steelhead. Catch and release steelhead fishing continues on these streams, but
season and gear regulations are built around the need to conserve each gene banks wild steelhead population.
This accomplishment is the result of the steadfast work of member Laura Hudson, River Steward Steve Lent, Regional
Coordinators Jason Small and Peter Donahower, and Southern District Manager Jake Crawford. These boots-on-the-ground
advocates were empowered with the best available science, which enabled them to effectively champion the best interest of
Washingtons remarkable wild steelhead.
In 2016, our goal is to secure the same protections for wild steelhead swimming home to the Puyallup, Elwha and Skagit rivers,
because Puget Sounds wild steelhead deserve every stream mile free of hatchery fish they can get.

and recovery of wild steelhead across the Pacific Northwest.
