Just for the record, if anyone cares, I am law abiding and am still trying to sort out my point of view on the topic. I always follow the law, whatever it might be. If anyone could ever agree on the science, I will support that data. I will admit that I have killed wild steelhead on the
OP in my younger days. Of course, I had to hike several miles to get there so I felt justified. I wouldn''t do that now unless I was starving or the run was really strong. (AKA- no nets)

Until then, I see merit from both arguments. At this point in my life, I find the truth usually lies between the polarized viewpoints on most topics.

I usually fish the strong hatchery runs anyway where I can bonk away like a baby harp seal hunter.

By the way, it felt REALLY GOOD to bonk that big King at Westport the other day after "saving" so many "wild" fish at Seiku....he he
