I usually kill one fish a trip, the smallest, most beat up hatchery runt I can catch, and only when I'm camping. That doesn't include valley fish which I won't eat because of water quality issues. The fish I do kill get BBQ'd with my homemade teriyaki sauce, roasted potatoes and some BBQ'd zucchini and that makes about the best meal anyone could ask for.

I would never, ever kill a wild fish and I have been spending a lot of time writing letters to Oregon fish and wildlife trying to get the 5-wild fish per year reg overturned in S. Oregon. Why? Wild anadramous fish need a break, they have been getting the "shaft" for the better part of 150 years.
