If you catch them incidentally to other species (hatchery coho for example) and release them carefully, (DO NOT take them out of the water) you are probably OK. However, if you've got a wrapped K-16 Kwikfish hanging off of your rod and the warden sees it, you'll probably have some explaining to do. eek Bottom line, DON'T intentionally target species that are closed. wink
