I gave up on trying to make a living in this state and I took a real job, but I still guide in AK where we have a half dozen rivers on the Island that are full of steelhead and we have them all to ourselves, all wild fish I might add. None of our guests are allowed to bonk a steelhead, If I get the feeling that killing fish is important to them, I'll take them after dollies(which average between 2# and 4# and as large as 8#)and this along with fishing the salt for kings, silvers, butts and other bottom fish always keep them happy and comming back. For those who practice C&R what a fishery for these steelhead, and because the fish that make it thru all the nets to return to the rivers virtually spawn unmolested, what I mean by this is we fish for them from the second week of april to the third week of may and rotate rivers daily so a river gets fished no more than 5 days a year. This we feel will ensures us with fishing for years to come. I know our situation differs from here in WA, but guides here can take a stance and make C&R polices. They may lose some customers but it would give them their best shot at long term job security. If current practices by ALL PARTIES stay as is, say goodby to the steelhead.
