A little history lesson

Years ago there was a 3 fish limit on steelhead when it was reduced to two there was a huge uproar about how it was unfair because the anglers were used to keeping as many fish as they could catch.That is the kind of mentality that liberal limits encourage. The same thing happened when we finially got wild steelhead release here in SW WA. Most anglers were strongly opposed to the idea because they wanted to kill everything they catch. We see the same thing on the North Sound rivers and on the penninsula Some people want to kill every fish they catch. Though not wrong it says alot about their mentality and their lack of concern for the resource and in turn their greed.
2 steelhead a day is plenty for anyone on the planet and plenty to give fish to friends and neighbors.

Never one time did i say i wanted fewer fish in our rivers. Never once did i say i want hatcheries closed.

There has been a code of conduct for river fishing for centuries it's all gone now because people are selfish. Don't think so? go fish the Deschutes in August Or the Kalama "fly water" in September or the meat hole on the North Lewis in October.
All i am doing is asking people to treet others as you want to be treeted Thats it!! if you missed that in my previous posts well then you weren't listening.

the origional question was why not raise limits on hatchery fish. I answered the question why not.. It breeds the mentality that killing everything you catch is a good thing and people get used to the idea of being able to kill as many as they want and as soon as the numbers aren't there they complain about not having fish to kill Thats clearly evident from ( a very vocal few) of the people in this forum. And from history. When all people want is fish to kill they become very unsportsman like and yes greedy.

anyway go ahead kill everything you want frankly I don't care as ling as it's hatchery go ahead and step in below somoene or cut them off with your sled. it's ok for you do whatever pleases you right?? Go ahead and disrespect your fellow anglers I won't be there but maybe someone else who cares will be.
