As we all know, most rivers on the Olympic Peninsula and throughout the Puget Sound region are experiencing radical declines in wild steelhead populations. So given that Pacific Northwest wild steelhead populations are collapsing, it is total BS that the fish chuckers at Seattle's Pike Place Fish Market offer wild steelhead for purchase. By selling wild steelhead, the Pike Place Fish Market, one of the most well known fish retailers in the world, is sending the wrong message to its customers and contributing to the demise of these magnificent fish.

Send a comment to the market and urge them to stop selling...... and throwing wild steelhead.
