Correct me if I'm wrong--but isn't true the Quinalts don't clip their hatchery fish? How are you supposed to tell if its native or hatchery? Granted the beat-up fin thing is a dead give away-but last time I fished the Quinalt we landed 11 fish and most of them had perfect fins (that was in early Feb.) Mabye they were or mabye they were not, but I took my #17 home with me-that by the way is my biggest to date. We then returned and fished the Clearwater where I gladly released a #16 chromer hen that I could have kept! I release every native I catch, but when you can't tell-then what? 25 pounder---one time--in the Quinalt--KONK!!
