I love steelhead fishing as much as anybody but I don't feel that I have to kill a wild steelhead to have something to eat. Even when you could kill wild steelhead I kept very few many years ago. I will take a hatchery steelhead home to smoke. Most rivers that are planted with hatchery steelhead have a mandatory kill rule on them. I eat plenty of salmon. I prefer the taste of salmon to steelhead anyway.
