Howdy,
While I agree the huge influx of people (especially in Wa.) is putting the environment in a precarious position. The problem's of the East coast should be able to be avoided. The number of eager Steelheader's make C&R the most feasible and fair way to deal with the limited run's we now enjoy. I feel with our understanding of the resource, that soon the corner will be turned and walking on the back's of thousand's of salmonid's won't be a folk tale. And don't forget that a single individual can make all of humanity richer forever, with an invention, idea ect. So as long as the parent's can take care of a child, we should welcome at least that potential. See ya
