As much attention as the national fish and game is giving the dolly varden/bull trout populations I would not recomend tossing one up on the beach for fertilizer.I will take it personal if I ever see it happen.The other side of the coin is they will start closing rivers down if the situation does not improve.They just did on the skoke so do not think they can't

I caught a good number of good size this year on the skoke which was truly amazing and encouraging as I have only caught two in the past 20 years.They just closed the upper reaches because they think it is spawning habitat.All of the dolly's that I caught were in one single run on the skoke.That is making the usfws guys wonder about the stream that dumps in just above this reach.I guess they like little tribs for spawning.Kinda interesting stuff.
