I disagree I think people deciding that morality is a personal choice to believe or not to believe has done misslions(literally) times more damage than people pushing their morality on other people. Granted we are gatting away from the topic at hand but as an example Hitler decided to forego morality by ignoreing a small well known passage "thou shalt not commit Murder" because he wanted to make up his own morality and suggest that certain people it didn't matter if you murdered them or not. The same could be said for Stalin. Another example would be senator Mcarthy who ignored our constitution, ignored the morality of government as laid down by our founding fathers to pursue a witch huntof UnAmerican activities.
When people set aside morality things go bad PERIOD!

Granted, we are only talking about fishing but when someone chooses to set aside ethics in the sport it is bad for all of us. Your own personal rights to do whatever you want are NOT more important that everyone elses rights. There are long established traditions in salmon and steelhead fishing, to maintain the quaity of experience that we all seek we all must abide by thoes traditions. If everyone started fishing over spawning fish ( on redds) we would quickly have no fish left.

We need morals wether in life of on the river and people need to abide by them.
