Smalma, I felt like I have a been p!ssing into the wind on this one for quite a few years. I do not keep unclipped salmon, especially in a mixed stock fishery such as we have in saltwater. There is no way to tell where that fish is destined so how the devil can I tell what the health of the stock is that this fish came from?

Unclipped - let it go - salmon or steelhead. Maybe I'm small minded, but its the only way I can feel like I'm consistent.
