Hey Bob it seems that many of you have lost sight of the one purpose of what we're doing on these streams!
FISH IS FOOD.If the runs are healthy enough to be able to retain a few per year than I'll vote for that one. Some of the remarks on this page refer to me to fish the lemming rivers if I want fish to eat. (cowlitz,bogie,ect.). I fish for enjoyment, SOLITUDE, and FOOD.I do agree that 30 fish per year is extremely agressive but I would like to see the regs relaxed on some of the other coastal streams I fish regularly and appear to have very healthy stocks; say 3 to five fish per year.
Or perhaps you'd find it more acceptable for me to purchase native caught native from Swansons in Deen.
