Bdodger, what's the point of starting a tread like this here. Could you have possibly missed that this site is the origin of WSC and one of their main objectives is to promote release of all wild steelhead? If you disagree with that objective, let's hear some facts and resonable arguments. If you just want to start a tread of name calling and trash talk you should take a look at nwfishing.com, it might suite your purpose better than this site.
