Isn't interesting that we warn not to fish over spawning trout and watch out for the redds, but have no problem fishing/snagging steelhead on their way to spawn?

I think this primarily has to do with the fact that there is very little successful natural reproduction in the steelhead alley fisheries.

There are certainly some places it is happening. Were those places widely known, I think almost everyone would agree those fish should be left alone.
