Quick fry until golden..

But honestly, where is retention open?
 .
I want one, so does my neighbor...
.
Everything is closed, as far as I know..

The entire Columbia system has reached it's quota numbers already this year. With coastal rivers being boatless lots of guides targeted them in the pools and were successful.  Not knocking on them. But the quotas went quick.this year.

Why not knock on them?
The guides are completely out of control.
They are consuming everyone's publicly funded, recreational opportunities these days.
It's BS.

[ASHQUACK]

I don't knock them mostly because the way the states managed by WDFW. If we had opportunity on more systems the guides wouldn't be concentrated in single areas with small quotas. They're just trying to survive like everyone else.

[2MANY]

On your $$$$$$$ and your resources.
Not to mention while consuming your opportunity.

It's high time they have the brakes applied to their wide open exploitation of our public resources.

[metlhead]

Guides are not consuning those resources, the public is. Guides are just a means of access for more opportunity.

You beat me to it.  Who do you think the guides clients are???The public!  Just because they are out almost every day some of you are butt hurt?  Take some days off, heck, hire a guide yourself.  I'm not a guide nor do I love all guides, but they have every right to bring Joe blow out fishing if Joe blow is willing to pay.

      Joe Blow here      Used to have my own river boat.  Now I just hitch rides.

John day pool is still open.  I don’t know why you point to guides, were you Down there fishing?  I was 4 of the 7 days.  On the second to last day we saw 12 fish kept counting our three.  Not one guide counted towards those.  But there was a guide there that I haven’t seen before, maybe doing exactly what you’re talking about.  But he was getting his a$$ handed to him.  We caught 5 keepers total in an hour and a half and they never touched a fish.  If you would of been down there for the opener you’d of seen more boats then ever.  Mostly all sport boats.  Warmer then normal water and weather plus fishing pressure was the cause.  Also there are more slot fish in those sections then there’s been in a long time with their restricted quotas the last few years.

[ASHQUACK]

Limb, valid points.
I wasn't there, but not because I didn't want to be. My point, maybe misguided, was that there was more pressure than there ever has been and I saw a lot more guides advertising for sturgeon trips than normal. I truly believe that it was due to the regulations on our steelhead rivers.

[Badhabit]

I shook lemon pepper on mine and cooked it like chicken. Was not bad for the first time cooking sturgeon.

And when they are done raping the sturgeon resource they will move on to the next one.

Commercialization of the resource is the enemy.
