It depends on where you are fishing and who's fishing it. If you are fishing with you buddies, on the river, you can hand off the rod to make sure it goes on another's punch card so you don't have to tag out your limit in a two limit system and you have one on your tag. Then you can keep on fishing. In the fall you can usually fish for other species.

I'm not sure about the Columbia regs for salmon & steelhead now. Haven't fished springers since last year when we had a two fish limit.

If I were going with a guide I would pay more of a tip if I got two versus one.
