News from Centralia

The Lower Columbia press report from last Thursday's WWF WDFW public meeting.

A proposal to eliminate hatchery steelhead fishing on the Green and North Fork of the Toutle rivers drew opposition from most people who testified Thursday during a boisterous meeting at Centralia College.

Speakers objected to losing a fishery that attracts anglers from afar in late spring and summer.

However, several people supported the state Department of Fish and Wildlife’s suggestion that stocking of hatchery summer steelhead be ended to create a wild steelhead sanctuary in the two rivers.

Boisterous? More like rude, obnoxious and disrespectful.
