Bruce, how do you suppose we let the run sizes build up with nets in the river? We don't! The fact is there are several rivers that still maintain a healthy run of native steelhead. You cut off ALL catch and keep and I am willing to bet Bob loses a good portion of his business while the tribes continue netting. And, if anyone here wants to talk purist crap....go to the upper reaches of the Sol Duc and watch a purist teach fly fishing on the reds.
