The main problem is that most people fishing look at the regulations and if it is legal to keep one, then they do it. Majority don't know anything about diminishing runs etc. They are busy with their works and family and ... Just because we surf the net and follow salmon/steelhead related issues don't assume others do as well. If you are for native release, the ultimate solution is to get it into the regs and then enforce it. I would not bash anyone who keeps a fish if it is legal to do so.
