I think it's pretty funny the WDFW made a boneheaded move like this.  I wonder if they're going to tell enforcement to lighten up on fin-clip violations - because if a guy can get an elk poaching case dropped over a poorly worded definition buried deep in the fine print, I imagine a judge would laugh the prosecutor right out of the courtroom when they ask His Honor to enforce a rule from a book whose cover image is in violation of that very rule.

BINGO!

Actually love the pic

Until it goes to the ocean it is just a rainbow trout. You can call it a steelhead if you want but that fish is only about 15" long and most likely never went to the ocean.

If I caught that fish at that age I would have had a stick through its gills and been running up and down the bank showing it off to anyone that wanted to see it. Good thing i'm old and they didn't have bad rules when I was a kid, they would have looked me up. :IBCOOL:

LOL


aint that the truth!

So by the regs. it can't be a Steelhead,
even if it wanted to be.
 :tup:


I always thought it was a scam of enormous proportions, that the state can leave a hatchery fish unclipped.
Then tell us, we can't catch it because "all unclipped fish are considered wild".
Now they want to stop the hatcheries all together because they somehow taint the wild steelhead, when they have been releasing unclipped hatchery fish for decades.
Only 2 defining forces sacrificed themselves for you:
The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

My rock,
He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.
Psalm 144.1
