using that logic, you'd have to release every chum you catch on the skok in the fall. what about the places in the regs where it says "RELEASE WILD COHO, CHUM". what if you caught a king? if you had to release all wild fish unless exactly noted, why would there be any need to put it in the special regs there?

it's pretty convoluted. there are other places in the regulations that say that exact same line you posted, except there is no salmon mentioned in it
