and, we were on the lower Queets, if by going by "law", there is no "law" about that on either of those rivers, so i don't know what to say bud... i just enjoy fishing, and it was one hell of a trip, it was also my first time in a boat, which was fun in itself...



What makes you think that fish was a hatchery spawner?

Last I checked it is illegal to remove wild fish from the water on any river period in the state of Washington, and I thought only the Quinault produced unmarked hatchery fish that could be caught in the lower river. Maybe I'm wrong...
