Dear Friends of Wild Steelhead, 

Thank you so much for signing and sharing this petition! Over 5,000 people have joined together to say it's time to respect wild steelhead in southwest Oregon and let these fish go! Now is the time to get ourselves back in action. 

We have until Wednesday, November 20th to share this petition with as many people as possible before it will be submitted to the state of Oregon to make the 2020 winter steelhead season in southwest Oregon catch and release for wild steelhead. Please sign and share this petition and help us make a respectful and responsible fishery possible! 

Additionally, we need your help showing up and giving public testimony to the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission on Friday, December 6, 2019 in Salem, Oregon. The Fish and Wildlife Commission will be voting on whether or not to grant a temporary rule for catch and release of wild steelhead in 2020. Your participation in person makes a huge difference! 

For more information on the upcoming Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission meeting check this link: Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission Meeting Details.  Please show up at 8am and sign up if you want to speak. You can also make and bring signs to show your support. 

Thank you for all your help.  Together we can ensure that Southwest Oregon's wild steelhead are healthy and abundant for all! 

Respectfully yours, 

Harvey Young
