My personal thought is that if it comes down to trout or salmon, I choose salmon. However, anyone who has spent anytime in Alaska fishing knows that trophy rainbows and very healthy salmon runs can coexist within the same river. I also agree that there is no reason why the boundaries shouldn't be expanded, and they should require barbless hooks. As far as the quality of the meat for eating, come on. Spring salmon, even after they have darkened significantly on the outside, are by far the best table fare a fisherman can put on the table. I appluad your efforts Jim, without people like you, this run would very well not be what it is.
