floatassassins Going out tomorrow on the sky, should be good, the river looked decent.. keep ya posted www.floatassassins.com

I dont understand... is this a shameless plug or a hero shot post?

what ever you want it to be

Shameless plug.

Should put up some chum photos!

Check out the site, cool pics...but you're supposed to keep all them wild ones in the water!

I didnt want to be the one to break him the bad news about all his illegal photos... glad to know you got my back andrew

all clean release except 1 unfortunatly not my kill, legal waters i was pissed

Good job on the releases...but legally...
Handling rules
Freshwater: It is unlawful to totally remove
salmon, steelhead, or Dolly Varden/bull trout
from the water if it is unlawful to retain those
fi sh, or if the angler subsequently releases the
salmon, steelhead, or Dolly Varden/bull trout.

I wonder if he realizes that WDFW enforcement reads this site?

Jesus. Is it me, or are people getting "dumber and dumber" around here????

Blades? Is that you?

If you were so pissed why would you put this up on your site? Must not be that pissed

+1

But in legal waters its cool or no

Were those fish from Idaho or Oregon?

I think he wants me to post it again...
Handling rules
Freshwater: It is unlawful to totally remove
salmon, steelhead, or Dolly Varden/bull trout
from the water if it is unlawful to retain those
fi sh, or if the angler *subsequently* releases the
salmon, steelhead, or Dolly Varden/bull trout.

So if ya're gonna throw 'er back, ya gotta keep 'er wet!

From page 27 of the 2010 WDFW Sportfishing Rules Pamphlet.

Release of wild STEELHEAD and DOLLY VARDEN/BULL TROUT is required year-round, except where retention is specifi cally authorized in the Special
Rules. In freshwater areas (except in the Columbia River between the Buoy 10 line and the Rocky Point/Tongue Point line) SALMON, STEELHEAD, and
DOLLY VARDEN/BULL TROUT to be released may not be totally removed from the water.

IE, unless you are a wild steelhead killer, you can not totally remove a steelhead from the water.

So.....

Take the same photo but leave a tail...or a fin...or part of the fish in the water.

Even better is to change up your photo habits. Keep the Grip-n-Grns for hatchery/dead fish. Try taking photos of wild steelhead while they are still in the water. Some of the best steelhead photos I've seen are fish that have never left the water.

I'm sure some folks here will happily post some examples.

In the Sky, Snoqualmie and Stilly...all the rivers you guide in.

the coast

"to be released"

IE.

You can take all the photos you want to of a wild steelhead out of the water as long as you sell your soul to the Devil and KILL it.

That's uncool on all levels.

If you are planning on releasing a wild steelhead, you may NOT remove the fish totally from the water. Ever. On any river in our state.

It is only you if you agree to the word GETTING in the statement above.
