Join Trout Unlimited’s Jonathan Stumpf, the Washington Advocate for the Wild Steelhead Initiative, as he discusses the Puget Sound Steelhead recovery plan.

After three years of work, research and tough negotiations, the Puget Sound Steelhead Advisory Group (PSSAG) released their document “Quicksilver: Restoring Puget Sound Steelhead & Fisheries” in May. Tasked by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) to build practical consensus around a path forward for steelhead management in Puget Sound watersheds, this portfolio of recommendations provides a new strategic framework to recover Puget Sound’s dangerously low populations of wild steelhead and also establish guidelines for sustainable angling opportunities where they are possible, or could become viable as steelhead numbers improve.

Before joining Trout Unlimited’s Wild Steelhead Initiative, Jonathan spent three years advocating for wild rivers and working on hydropower reform for American Rivers, a national river conservation organization. Prior to that, he spent three years managing advocacy campaigns and communication efforts for the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership. He also volunteered for 10 years on the board of directors for the Wild Steelhead Coalition, in the role of president for seven of those years.

Growing up fishing and floating the high country trout streams and rivers of Colorado, he landed for a brief spell in Missoula, Montana for grad school, before finally settling in Seattle in 2008, where he was quickly seduced by the mystique of steelhead and the rivers of the Pacific Northwest.
