As usual, Salmo has hit the proverbial nail on the head. C & R does work! Release the fish that bite aggressively and the BIG ones. Don’t get me wrong, I think that we need to continue to release all Dollys and Cutts and should probably be releasing all Wild Steelhead.

That’s just my opinion, ya don’t need to try and change my mind...

As far as Dollies providing a good fight -- I have gotta disagree, more like a stick that gives a headshake once n a while.

Now SRC, those put up a great fight, I absolutely love catchin them, and their numbers certainly seem to be increasing, due to the mandatory catch n release regs, I think.

Tight Lines,

Sincerely,
Roger
