Good video, but they seem to imply the runs crashed due to overfishing. While that likely contributed, the root cause(s) are much more complex.

The first and last WA steelhead I caught were both within walking distance of the house I grew up in. It's now been over 10 years since my steelhead flies have seen the light of day.

There are encouraging signs though. Spawning numbers have increased in some watersheds despite continued population growth in the Puget Sound region. There's still hope.
