Harvest is the problem because I cannot think of 1 stream flowing into Puget Sound that does not have a gillnet fishery on it. Not one!

And yes my Guide Service practices Catch and Release on rivers where wild fish are required by law to be released. Most of my clients keep their hatchery fish and release the wild one unharmed. Can the gillnetters anywhere in this state say the same.........I didn't think so!
