Personally, if we made the fall king fishery C&R Smalma, that'd be fine by me! I haven't kept one myself in a couple of years now and the more I see it drop, the less likely I am to keep one and the more I work on the guests to let them go (just discussed this with one of our fall guests that fishes three days every years and their group will no longer retain them).

Sorry to sound bitter, but a lot of people got involved last year, and about 90% of them favored C&R on wild steelhead and the state still said no ...

I'm being realistic in what we might achieve / receive with the 1/5 reg ... if we can't get C&R for a gamefish, how will we for a foodfish??
