Grande Ronde catch-and-release steelheading could be history

FISHING — Fisheries managers have proposed a rule that would require anglers to keep all hatchery steelhead they catch on most of southeastern Washington, including the Grande Ronde with the exception of the first 2.5 miles up from the mouth. Anglers would have to stop fishing when they retained their limit of two or three hatchery steelhead, depending on the river.
