Maybe they should.

We'll know for sure in about two years.

...and retread arguments like 'if a river is closed for wild steelhead retention, it should be closed for cnr' are very poorly though out....

cnr mortality = arguably anywhere from 3 to ten percent.

bonked, dead native mortality = 100%

you don't have to be a rocket surgeon to do that kind of math.

Following YOUR line of reasoning, because there is a cnr only fishery in the upper hoh it should also be open for retention.

If the releasers can fish, so can the bonkers.

If the indians can kill 'em, so can the sporties.

You see that these are some pretty shallow arguments, don't you?


To me, its tears on a table full of spilt milk.

Face it Bruce, you are going to have to put the bonking stick away for a lil while.
