i think it worked on cutthroat because they aren't targeted(to my knowledge) by commercials. it's pretty much a recreational only fishery, so it was us doing most of the damage. steelhead are a different matter. they are caught intentionally and accidently in gill nets

i'm siding with bruce on this one. blanket rulings are a very dangerous way to do things. i most likely would never keep a wild fish anyway, but i don't like the idea of it being mandatory everywhere
