They should throw the book at him.

I was there when the game warden gave a guy a ticket for fishing Pilchuck creek with worms. Not only was he fishing with worms,but he had about 5 trout or should I say smolts/parr about 5" long on a stick. When most people get their fishing licenses they also get a copy of the regs and then they read them. I hope they do.

When you go fishing you should know where you are going and what is legal.
