You know, I've always liked keeping fish. If I could find a way to justify it to myself I'd even bonk natives. I don't buy into the whole idea that "This Fish is such a nobel fish... I'm going to release it so that it can live to fight another day. I want to eat him! Unfortunately, our native runs are on a downward spiral, and I know that if we don't band together and practice a little conservation, then there is a good chance that someday we may have no native fish left at all. Sure, I'd love to bonk them and take them home.... But I Know that the right thing to do is release them, so I let ALL my natives go. Not so much for my sake, but so that when my kids get old enough to steelhead fish I can take them to the same stream that I"ve been fishing for the last twenty years ( A stream that is 100% native ) and still pull native fish.
