Dale,

I don't care about football, so I'll direct a response to the major question.. :rolleyes:

Last year was my first on the Skagit, but I fished it 5-6 days a week in one area. I caught Dollies (Bulls, I believe in reality) from 14" up to 28" in length. All but 2 were released, and from the point where I tasted my first one , ALL have been released. I refuse to keep a fish that I can't eat, and over 20" or no, they all go back.

Great game fish, lousy table fare.
