Wild Chrome

I was just re reading all of the replies, and something you said caught my attention!

You said; "I target wild fish, so I'm fishing rivers that are known for their native fish and in some cases (Trask, Nehalem), are managed by ODFW for wild steelhead. More power to ODFW! Great fishing in February and March and those fish don't cost taxpayers a dirty dime!"

Whenever any state agency "manages" our resources, it's costing us plenty of money! It doesn't really matter if they are managing it for either "hatchery" or "wild" fish. If the money isn't spent on "hatcheries", then it will still will get spent! The "money" always is COMPLETLY spent! Usually it almost always spent on their own jobs and their benefits. Just look around and smell the roses!

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