First why limit the question to the Quinault? Plenty of other rivers allow the keeping of wild fish. Not all guides are C&R. This BB host is! However, many others are not. I can say that if fishing with a C&R guide then my mind is already made up and camera is at the ready. If fishing with a non C&R guide I will be prepared for C&R with camera at the ready and let the guide know up front. When that trophy comes to the boat, that is not the time to decide. However, there is still part of me that says keep the trophy. Bottom line I go in prepared for C&R but may change my mind on the spot.
