Hi there Steve!
I did indeed release most of them. In fact, this year I kept one and one only beautiful bright steelhead! I do this to allow for the men and children to fish!!
Kidding...
This is A GREAT discussion board, and I have learned a lot listening in for a bit! I especially enjoy hearing about the Hoh and the Quinalt! I think I shall run away from home and become a river person. (something like a street person with a g loomis instead of a packsack.) I shall cook fish over a burn barrel, and sleep under the warmth of my neoprenes with a lifejacket as a pillow.
Anyway.... off to real life, and thanks everyone for the very clever responses! Fun way to start a day....Now I just wish it would rain so I could fish!
Jen
