If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

It would be a shame if they somehow ruined the Elwa river. I have caught and released many, many kings on the river and have landed a few very nice winter run steelies on the fly. Would be a crying shame to try to make up for our past mistakes and totally ruin a fishery. AND that would be a bad ass job to have.

--This river did once have the Biggest kings in the world. Will be very interesting to see what this run does in a couple decades, who knows, maybe the smolts will grow huge with the minerals and the shear power that only the huge Kings have to make it to the upper stretches of the Elwha, No salmon has been there in 90 years but they will be soon!

They should talk to the bio's in Canada to see if they could get some smolt from the Rivers Inlet tyees, those things have the genetic makeup to be monsters.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

 I like this idea, should put some in the Puyallup, Green and Nisqually also.
