Seriously Rouge? I agree with you 100% about not netting native steelhead while c&r. I do however feel that carefully landing a fish well before it is belly up and gently holding it up for a picture or two is well within reason. I don't kill wild fish, I don't net wild fish, but I intend to keep on snapping a picture or two when I get the chance. Let's not get anal! Education is the answer. If you care so much, and you see a fish being "abused", say something for crying outloud. Pass on the knowledge that you have aquired. You will certainly save more native steelhead teaching others how to handel them properly than you will bitching about it on this page!
