Dear Friends of Wild Steelhead,
The North Umpqua Wild Steelhead Coalition views the Umpqua River, and especially the North Umpqua, as the premier wild steelhead river in Oregon, based on its international reputation and the rarity of its wild steelhead.
Wild North Umpqua winter steelhead express life history and genetic characteristics that are rare across California, Oregon, Washington and Idaho.
Therefore, we believe that The North Umpqua deserves special management recognition, including prohibition of harvesting wild steelhead.
We ask you to sign this petition to continue to ensure catch-and-release angling only for the remarkable wild winter steelhead of the Umpqua River.
