I cant believe the people that arent for wild fish release. There is no such thing as a "surplus" fish. We need to protect all the wild fish left and improve hatchery operations. I love to keep fish just as much as the next guy but there is NO WAY i would ever keep a native. Catching the fish is 99% of the fun, everything else doesnt really matter. They say it takes a steelheader 33 some hours between fish, and if you need to fish for food then i'd say GET A DAMN JOB!

The good ol' days are over, CNR or go home!
