Well all, I just don't get it. wild fish stocks are decreasing every where, and people still want to kill'em. Just because our state has their heads up their a$$ and haven't shut things down doesn't mean we can't do our part, come on HOW BAD DO YOU REALLY NEED A FISH. It can't be a food for the table issue, because $$$ we spend fishing would buy a hell of a lot of food. I think its the look at what I caught syndrome, well folks pictures will do that to, Let it go and you'll be a bigger man for it, and no one can say you're at fault when the fish are gone. If the state cared about the resource they would shut things down for catch and kill state wide and only allow c&r on healthy rivers, the couple that are left. And then make it illegal to buy wild Steelhead, If something is done soon then maybe just maybe the wild fish stocks will increase enough to have a managed harvest every now and then to keep those that have the need to bonk'em in the head happy. And if current practices stay as is, you'll see the bonkers will be the first ones crying when the fish are gone,watch

And RICH G if mountain man and others think i'm on my high horse for the way I feel, I DON'T REALLY GIVE A S#!+ I have much respect for you and passion you have for fish and the sport of fishing.
