They've closed down fishing the Deschutes River in Oregon for spring salmon. The fish count is supposed to be down to 400, which is pretty sad. Is this happening a lot around the country?

As far as steelhead, most of the declining numbers are on the West Coast. Here in the midwest, the Great Lakes tribs are doing great, then again, these aren't 'native' fish. I spent a few weeks this past summer doing renovation work on steelhead spawning grounds in CA, and it was disturbing to see what habitat destruction coupled with entirely overpopulated seal numbers do to these steelhead. It really is a shame, then again, that's why I felt obligated to do my part.

Beekeeper, our trout streams here in NC were also lousy during the summer months. The warden said that there wasn't enough water to stay cold, so the water got too warm and the trout died off. They only stock in spring, so this ruined fishing for the rest of the year. It was exceptionally good while it lasted and I caught limits on several occasions.
