Oh come on guys, there is no such thing as forgone opportunity from a released instead of bonked wild steelhead, in fact there is increased opportunity, as you or another angler now have the opportunity to catch that wild steelhead over and over - I caught the same 18 pound Queets fish 3 times in one day a few years ago Fishing is better with more fish in the water, period. Why would any of you want fishing not to be better
