Dave...

That Carlin quote was my very first sig! I gave up after quoting Bill Hicks though and just go with a straight sight gag now...

The study being done is specific to ONP. The average size Bully caught in the tribal nets was five pounds as I recall. As Smalma pointed out to me in a thread about Dollies a long time ago, the adfluvial or lake spawning variety attain the biggest size.* Probably the reason for so many 'big one' rumors that come out of the upper Elwha and the reason those fish in M, err, your zipper, are the size they are, in spite of of their inability to reach the ocean.


* - Which brings up another thing...

The conversation smalma and I were having was about Dolly Varden. In the regs they refer to the fish as Dolly's...right? Both in the Skagit and the Hoh though it appears that the only populations are really bull trout.

That is, IF I've completely understood the information I've taken in.....
