I don't know if I should dish this out or not but my thoughts lately go this way. C&R is a gratifying religion but alot of people preaching it are up in the spawner waters beating them to death!!! I think more areas that are known spawning grounds should be closed totally let our fish do their thing without being harrassed after all boots vrs. chromers take the later I personnelly try to avoid upper rivers and have not had any problem findng bitters and feel more justified in my pursuit for steelhead,PEACE
