So with that said, how do you support you assertion that "The biggest difference for the handful of guides who encourage wild fish harvest in their boats on the OP is that they'll have to save their eggs from salmon and hatchery steelhead seasons...no more fresh wild steelhead eggs for bait."

How many is a hand full? And how many do not practice this?
A "handfull" is an intentionally undefined amount, mainly because I don't know the exact numbers.

What I was getting at was that of all the fishing guides in the entire state who fish for steelhead, only the guides on the OP who allow CnK on their boats will be affected.

I figured that compared to all the rest of the guides in the state, that number would be about a "handfull".

Everywhere else where guides and their clients can't keep wild fish, the guides have no problem booking clients. Why the big fear that the "handfull" that do allow it are now going to go out of business. It's BS, is what it is. Not only will they lose little or no business now, think of how much more they'll get as the runs improve.

Fish on...

P.S. Still waiting for your response to the answers I gave you for your questions reagarding the mix-stock fisheries, and others...
