Smoke on the water! Try matching the hatch when B.C. is burning. Try locating which side of the river to go down when you can’t see the rapids. All you can go on is the roar of the river. We need to protect the remaining steelhead of the Thompson. We have to build up their stocks again. We have to change our ways worldwide.
