To Mike: who points out that PETAS believe C&R flyfishers torture fish rather than
killing them let me ask: Would ya rather be tortured briefly or killed and eaten
if you were a fish?
Besides who cares what PETAS think except other PETAS. Fish have very little if
any nerve centers in the bony tissue in their mouths. They are probably frightened
when hooked and yanked around, but doubtfull if they hurt much.
When you meet a PETA to argue with tell them: Well I believe if GOD didn't mean for
us to eat fish and animals, HE wouldn't have made them out of MEAT.

To MCougar: Who ask do I eat fish I have to reply I have eaten one or more
fish of nearly every type Washington supplies. I used to be a catch and kill
steelheader of some proficiency and also trout at a young age, before I became educated
around age 30.

I still eat a few (between 10-20/yr.) trout per year. I get them exclusively at brook trout lakes
which I know are overpopulated or at Catch and Kill lakes where I know they will
be eaten anyhow.
If you think that makes me a hipocrite, think again. Conservation is Wise Use not NON
USE.
