Great responses guys!

Just a few more thought to kick around. The game laws say that it's illegal to "Harvest any part of another persons daily limit, except as provided for under the disability license.

The law also states that it's illegal to "Continue to fish for salmon after the daily limit or the adult portion of the daily limit has been retained" This law applies to each fresh water fishermen, not to the total boat catch. Remember, these are fresh water rules and may not apply to the ocean fisheries rules.


So if you got a boat full of your friends (4), and three of them have already caught their limits, do you think that the above law does not apply to you and you friends because you are fishing with a guide or fishing from a boat? And think about this one. The law states that you can only fish with only one rod, right? Then how can you legally take the rod from a guide when the law also states that you cannot "Fish with a rod not under your immediate control"! Since you can only be fishing with one rod, which must be under your immediate control, how does that work when you claim control of the "other rod"? The law does not allow you to pick and choose, you must control only one rod!

What's your opinion on this? Do you think that the courts would weigh in on you side or the game warden side?


Cowlitzfisherman,

Is the taste of the bait worth the sting of the hook????
