Smalma & NM, thank you for your unbiased assessment on my sanity and your kind words. I would say that 80,000 steelhead caught and released would be an extraordinarly high number. I could see 10 to 20 thousand wild fish released and that does have some impact. My point remains the same - we as a sportsfishing community have an impact on the wild SH. We better be prepared to accept that and act upon it if we want to have any credibility in the discussion.
