I made seven trips up to Neah Bay last summer. The first few trips the ratio was close to 1:1. At times they would all be marked while other times they were all wild. As the season wore on it became closer to 5:1 and 6:1 wild to clipped. Last day I was there it was around 10-15:1 wild to clipped.

I rarely use bait and I felt that almost all of the fish I released looked pretty good swimming away with only a few that I thought might not make it.

Interesting post by the way.
