Monty,I was told by the region bio that not enough angler participation was involved in marking released wild fish.He said that less than 15% of anglers actually marked released fish,make the data on returned cards invalid.

On a simular note,we all need to make sure we turn in our punchcards this year because the WDFW is going to be sending out questionnaires to those who turn in their cards involving wild steelhead release proposals.
