What I cant seem to understand is how, in the summer/fall/winter, one can still legally walk out of the green(or any PS stream) with two "trout". One can legally use barbed/treble hooks with night crawlers and catch these so called "trout" IMO allowing this to continue year in and year out is causing much more harm to the #'s of wild fish returning to this system than a selective catch and release fishery for returning adults.

Spending many days a year on this particular system fishing for summer runs I see countless #'s of uneducated folks with their "Trout" gear walking out with native smolts as well as many dead floaters from the ones they release. Curt, I know you are an advocate for shutting down these "trout" fisheries, why are our rules soooo behind the times in these regards?

The interactions between resident fish and anadromous fish, and effects of a "trout" fishery on smolt #'s is not new news. Why dont we see emergency rule changes in place to combat these problems througout PS basin?
