One more thing...

fNp-
That second photo is great, a very well taken photo.

And for all those that may think I am in someway anti-camera/photo, I love a great photograph as much as the next guy.

I fought tooth and nail for this law not because I am in someway against pictures of fish, but because so many out there can not handle the responsibility that is put into their hands when they need to handle wild steelhead.

It is still possible to take a quality photo as I have proven in earlier posts while ensuring that cetain irresponsible anglers must keep their fish in the water.

Plus the regulation that was passed was a much more widspread version of the regulation that I proposed and fought for. It could very well be one of the most progessive and enlightened regulations regarding fish handling in the Country...which I find to be very encouraging considering it came from the WDFW Fish & Wildlife Commission.
