Brett Gaba is the Editor of Steelheader’s Journal, an annual publication that covers all things Steelhead. Focusing on the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia and Alaska, the readers get a beautifully designed and informational piece about this amazing fish.  At the same time, it’s not new news that Steelhead are in trouble. Many rivers are showing a decline in returns and that is not lost on Brett. We discuss this, as well as ways to continue to responsibly fish for this amazing species.  Stay tuned.
