It is confirmed. Talked with a freind who was out there, and witnessed it. I'm not sure wether it was guided or not, but he was from Port Townsend; he can't play the out-of-town "I did not know the impact" card in this case. It is in these circumstances when two clubs are necessary: one for hatchery fish and one for ignorant fisherman. I wonder how well he could swim? And just because someone fly fish's does not make him a superior angler. We are all STEELHEADERS; one's tactics or presentations should not hinder our appreciation for these fish. I hope some day everyone can accept this.
