Sure there are a tons of folks out there who are uneducated about alot of things, not the least of which would be proper releasing of fish. WDFW has done a good job in getting the word out but it is up to the rest of us to spread the education on how to properly release fish every chance we get. At PSA meetings and clinics we pass out brochures on selective fishing and demonstrate the techniques.

We made littering a crime many years ago but some folks still use the outdoors as their garbage can. We are moving forward with selective fisheries and while we do the general fishing public still wants to take home a fish.
