I agree. We could use a few more FF only waters and even more Selective/C&R waters. But some lakes just make sense to be catch and kill - and bait is the most efficient means to do this.
I'd just like to point out that I fish the middle fork snoqualmie regularly, and have some interesting estimated statistics from my experiences up there:
A typical fly fishing trip for me will gleam 10 to 30 fish. Most of these fish range from 6 to 10 inches. A few bigger (up to 11 or 12 inches) and a few as small as 3 inches. Of those hooked, I wound/kill about 1 in 10. This is due to:
1) late strikes by tiny fish that hit my dry fly just before my back cast, thus getting flung behind me and smacked against the rocks. DOH!!
2) hooks that penatrate the eye or gills - generally when using large attractor patterns or terrestrials as well as larger wooly buggers
When spinner/spoon fishing, I catch about a third more fish, and they tend to be bigger. I've caught all my larger fish in this river by using spoons/spinners. (larger means 12 to 17inches)
Of those I catch with my ultra light spinning gear, I wound/kill about 1 in 15.
My point is, fly fishing is not always the safest way. The safest way is to just not use hooks. Or just stay home.
