I just have a couple of questions......

Who would want to fish for spawning salmon anyway due to the fact that they are already so colored?

Why would someone want to fish in an area that spawning fish are in and take a chance on killing fish or ruining some of the redds? These fish are already played out and dirt kicked up by wading individuals can cover redds. Why take the chance and ruin something?

I am not really trying to stir something up just wondering. I can see the legitemacy of fishing for other species that feed on drifting eggs but why take the chance of damaging a resource? I say fish elsewhere.
