I was wondering how anglers from this BB would respond to the catching-and-releasing of both native and hatchery origin steelhead, in light of the low return of brats this year on many systems? Releasing brats would not be an "option," but mandatory on rivers, like the Snohomish and Skagit and all their tribs. Just envision this policy as a next-to-last-ditch management tool to try to ensure an adequate number of adults return to the hatchery and keep guys/gals still fishing. The alternative would be to close the rivers off until Feb or March, when our nate-C&R season begins.
