rcl187 - I believe, "if I catch it I kill it" mentallity led to the early shut down on the lower skagit last season.

Todd - I think Beezer hit it on the nose for cnr on the sauk/skagit. I once read that when cnr begins on the skagit the Pow Wows pull there nets. But do you really believe everthing you read. Apparently if they don't kill we don't kill.

When I find a scanner I will post a pic of a hatchery fish caught during cnr that was more than capable of spawning. That is, with your permission Todd.

- A solution to the problem might be taking extra pictures. Like 50, or a 100. At least a 20 minute photo session. Pass the fish around let every one get a picture. If Parker's Wild Fish Handling Law goes into effect next season, you won't be breaking the law. Heck, its not a wild fish.
