Duro, My first drift caught steelhead was a skanky summerrun (In January)on the Snoqualmie when I was 6 (1977). I did it all by myself, and I new the fish was ugly then, and my dad said, "well do you really want to eat that"? So I let it go! I know what a good and a bad fish look like. BUT, there's alot of guys that get just as much pleasure out of keepin' a snake river summer run in December (through March), and who am I to degrade them for making that choice? I only have control over myself, and I realy don't care if someone else wants to keep a dark fish. BUT, I don't waste them for crab bait. I save the heads and backbones off of "good fish" rather than kill spawners only for filling up the freezer for bait?
