I am new to the board, so please don't jump on me because my post may be controversial. First off, it is illegal to kill any char in Washington State, they are listed under the Endangered Species Act, so those of you that are talking about eating them or tossing them, I think the USFWS will be interested in your confessions. It is also illegal to target them for fishing. So, that is why numbskulls like Bill Herzog who write articles that suggest targeting an Endangered SPecies are under close scrutiny from the USFWS. You are not allowed to target the fish, not allowed to keep the fish, so just release them gently if you catch them.
