I have to agree with elk run. I can barley go more than two weeks without fishing and only a few minutes without thinking about it, a very close second to sex. I would not stop fishing if it meant saving the salmon runs, but I do and would release most of my fish if it ment saving the runs. Of all the coho, chum and steelhead, and sea-run cutthrout I caught last fall, I only kept a large hatchery steelhead hen. I still believe that the biggest problems that we need to face to save wild fish are banning all comercial and tribal fishing and improving habitat. We as sport fishermen don't do very much damage compaired to the comercial guys and the Indians..opps, Native Americans.
