Doug, I personally DO find it unethical to intentionally kill a wild steelhead ... so we both seem to feel that the other fishes unethically ... so be it. I stand by and sleep just fine with my actions ... whether it be a "steelhead trip" in the upper Hoh or having the "ethics" to require C&R of wild steelhead on my boat, whether mandated by law or not.

Ethical or not is a matter of personal opinion and surrounding circumstances.

"To make a buck, no less" - strange comment from someone who is mounting dead wild steelhead ... a sin in my book. See how it works both ways?

And I'm sure you've never driven 36 miles an hour or more at any point along Lake Crescent on your way out here ... 'cuz if you did, you're driving unethically (endangering others?) and are an outlaw ... because you just crossed some imaginary "gray line" set up by the government.

Since you seem to have forgotten the topic at hand here and instead apparently want to focus more on a PERSONAL attack ... I ask that you do so off of the forum as the posted rules dictate ... as much as I've wanted to break this over the past few seasons and bring some attention to certain individuals, I've refrained (they're my rules after all) ... and since it seems so important to you to follow mandated rules, I expect you to do so.
