I usually just release most steelhead and most salmon in rivers. I have been known to keep the accational fish in a river; like last Augest when I caught a silver in the Quilleute (sp) that had sealice on it and herring in its stomach. Some places I get weird looks when I release a fish but I think it is for the better. Either somebody else can catch it or the hatchery could use it and if it is wild, in the case of salmon, it can go spawn so I can catch its offspring. Plus, why keep a fish in the river when its not the best condition when you can get salmon in the salt that have blood red meat and you have to be dumb not to catch them?
