Out last Sat on the river at just daylight, no water in my favorite central coast stream. (my fovorite conditions) Third cast WHAM! Using my fovorite low water technique floating eggs no lead with a spinning rod a 8 lbs wild buck on the bank within less than 5 minutes of play. What should have been a joyous ocasion turned out to be sickening as I saw blood being pumped from his gills.Sure did'nt get that warm and fuzzy you C&R fanatics talk about. This scene was played out 5 more times that day with only 2 of the six I'm sure was released unharmed. The last three I swicthed to single barbed blue fox whiched seemed to improve survival 60% but I still had 1 confirmed death. I quit at 3pm the way things were going I probably could have nailed a few more. My question is would we be better off having a kill fishery if the limit might be 1 fish than quit whether it be kept or not? People out there banging multiple hookups in the name of C&R are probably doing more harm than cathing one and enjoying the rest of the day as a simple boat ride.
