So let's see how this works;
the more hatchery fish we take, the overall population declines so DFG puts MORE hatchery fish in the system?
Hmmm, I'm not understanding that philosophy.
Folks, it’s 2007, the Genie’s out of the bottle and the 'gene pool' is tainted.
I personally like to see wild fish left alone, and if you HAVE to take, take a man made one.
That being said, you paid for a license and have the privilege within the regs, to kill and keep whatever you wish.
Let your conscience be your guide.
Steelhead gear = $6287, no of adults caught = 3, amortized cost = $2,095.67, beaching that 30" fish and letting it go = priceless
