RT, I volunteer when ever I can for fish inhancement. Just recently I donated equipment, and my time to help trouts unlimited out of montesano move fish docks from the college in aberdeen to friends landing, so they could raise fish to release in the lower chehalis. It was wrong to categorize bad fishing habits with people from the city, and for that I apologize. I have been fishing the chehalis for over twenty years, not to mention my father fished it before that, and my grandfather before him and within the last few years I have seen many rude and unethicle fisherman now fishing the same waters. for instance pulling right into the slout and anchoring while I'm fishing. Hey yall I dont bonk natives so I sugest that you dont bet on me, and I was fishing up river from the res.
It irritates me to have visitors to a river tell me how I should catch and release (IE: hatchery fish) on a river that I help to restock, live on, and by the way pick garbage up from people that are not part of a community that resides on the river. All I ask is when you visit this river please be respectful and take your garbage home with you. :p

Screw that. Whack that brat...if it's good enough for you to eat. I haven't seen or heard anyone harp on anyone keeping a hatchery fish before, unless that species was closed on a river.

Well, apology accepted...but you're still from Rochester :p lol

I fish that river every now and again around those parts. I just figured you were one of two people that I've seen down there is all. We are always picking up tribal trash where I fish. It sucks.
