You know after fishing SE once or twice a year for the past 12 years I've felt guilty and considered taking scale samples to submit to help alleviate my guilt feelings but never knew to submit my samples to.....Oh well grin Fish on!

I don't think you ought to feel guilty; you're certainly paying your way, which supports a lot of businesses along the way. I guess my point was that it's pretty hard (I'm sure you'll agree) to identify a wild salmon's origin without killing it.
