I'm fishing my favorite zipper lip river in Ferndale, no you can't guess which one.
I'm fishing for Ho's, coho or silvers for you non-rednecks, because it's closed for kings.
The WDFW wants to protect that run.
Low and behold I catch a nice king, 17 lbs, and it's CLIPPED! eek
Yes, I released it, because my boat isn't worth a fish, but why?
This ain't right! mad
Am I missing something here? I thought the reason for hatchery fish was for us to eat them? Why then have a hatchery program if it doesn't benifit us sportsmen? confused
The inidains are netting alot of kings, and throwing them back, back in their boat! mad
How can a river be closed to the retention of Hatchery fish?
I'm really, really confused here!!! confused

Any answers...anyone, anyone?
