Dollies/Bull trout are a part of any healthy river in the area. Anyone killing them because they think they are a bad for salmon needs to get an education. No, your experience is not unusual. At the Hard Rain Cafe last week a lady working there told me she threw every dolly she caught up on the bank. Not only is that illeagal, its just plain stupid. WA has no shortage of idiots when it comes to dollies. I think the Cascade has limit of 2 over 20", so your uneducated client was in the clear. Another reason to make the Cascade C&R all wild fish. Whenever I see anyone throw a dolly out of the water or keep on rivers closed- I call em in. Poachers. Time to get the poacher relics into the reality of a healthy river system before we loose everything.
