What was the goal of the 1992 Steelhead Plan and was it achieved?
The goal was to “stop the decline of adult steelhead and gather the necessary information to rehabilitate wild steelhead stocks.” This goal has generally been accomplished. The decline in adult steelhead abundance has been largely reversed, and although there are still information needs regarding wild steelhead, the knowledge base on steelhead in Minnesota has grown significantly over the last ten years. Objectives and accomplishments from the 1992 steelhead plan are listed in Appendix 2 of the proposed plan.
