That is bull$hit right there. That proposal had little support from local fishing guides. Every guide I know would not endorce any kill fishery on steelhead in Oregon rivers. There is no need.

It is widely supported from local sportfisherman who have always been able to keep a wild fish on that river and are now being told no. Try and take away something you've always been able to do and see how happy you are. I think it is a great thing and those fish should be protected.








Well Lund if you would ever bother to show up at ODFW meetings you wouldn't say such stupid $hit! The only guides that were against the harvest were fly guides and the bait guides in that region were for it.
I was there and I heard them. It's a matter of public record.
