I had a customer come in yesterday with a huge dollie out of the cascade, the thing was near 8lbs. I congradulated him on such a nice fish. But his reply threw me for a curve. He said he kills every one of the fish he keeps (dollies) so as to reduce the predation on the other stocks of fish. I see this mentality on allot of the local rivers against white fish and suckers but not dollies. Is this a common? I would think the predation is good, weeding out the inferm and slow resulting in a stronger genetic pool. I just hate to see one of the few remaining stock of fish that don't need hatchery help be abused.
