To Mike B. ..... do a search on this, Mike. I'm not putting you off, but this topic has been thrashed around many times and there have been some very courteous and informative replies. Eddie gave you the short version, but is correct.

Todd ..... you da man! I am surprised that you would initiate such a topic. Good one!!

My view is that hatchery fish retention SHOULD be allowed at all times, PROVIDING that ALL hatchery fish are marked.
As far as enforcement goes.......since when is it a concern that enforcement be easy??? You mean a warden might have to actually look to see if the dead fish has a fin clip? beer
