Would it be better if esa listings also said what their intent was? Like if we’re going to shut down Steelhead on the op it will be for x amount of years till we get x amount of fish back. Also I just want to clarify that I don’t make an effort to go out of my way to C&R Steelhead. I will and do keep Steelhead if it’s open and the fish isn’t a boot or illegal, my standards are high as far as colors go. The wild fish groups advocating for wild release while the Indians are keeping natives and the fisherman are letting them go is absolute [Bleeeeep!]. If a season needs to be it needs to be equal, natives and fisherman allowed to retain fish. If not then a season shouldn’t be. I don’t get the whole mindset of pretending like you’re saving the resource when a couple miles downstream their netting fish to be sold in Seattle. It’s absolutely stupid and [Bleeeeep!] everything up.
