Bushbear, were scales taken?

I remember an interesting facet of the pink fishery in '79. Lots of fish, not enough for a harvest fishery, but many fly-flingers went out and fished "trout" and "steelhead" and released pinks. Some neat streamers designed by Garrett. I'd say that you hooked about 10 pink and hour. Plus, if you fished more than an hour it was likely that you'd hook a summer-run. Knew a number of folks this happened too.
