The reason there are hatchery and native designations are a direct reflection of poor management practices by the outfit that gives out the tickets.................. just sayin.NO... That does not work ...I tried that ... :hello:

ALL...and I did ask them if they were searching the internet for all the fishermen who are holding nates out of the water ....the reaction was yes , we have a few to address :yike:What about non-fisherman? Like their bios holding up wild steelhead and wild chinook for newpaper photos over on the Elwha..... :stirthepot:

I'm sorry to hear that he got those tickets. Too bad the warden in each of those tickets didn't let him off with written warnings.
Stirring the pot I know, but he got off with two warnings, one ticket. Not too bad. We complain when WDFW doesn't catch poachers and others that break the law...until it's someone we know, then it's "unfortunate." :twocents:

Too bad the warden in each of those tickets didn't let him off with written warnings.

At a certain point in history the Nooksack was the #1 steelhead river in this state,I believe it was in the 50's,the mighty skagit also held the title in the60's- 70's? Where'd they go?

Maybee he just needs to work on his fish posing. A stratigic thumb conspicuously placed in front of said fin = no more fin in the pic = post away. Just keep hands away from gills and double check that he's not being watched. Or ummm just leave it in the water.This law applies to hatchery fish too. I don't know too many people that release hatch brats, but if it comes out of the water it is supposed to be kept.

Whos watching the tribal and non tribal gill netters as they rip nates from the nets and throw them back?.a nate has a way higher chance of survival after being held for a pic and released versus being pulled from a gillnet and thrown back in the water. I realize rules are rules but really?. Check out fishing the chehalis.net, whos watching them?.This is soooooo funny you posted this today ....A friend of mine sent me a magizine today ...NW Sportsman !! After looking and reading what was in this magizine sent me into an outrage ....But after researching what I found ...it is o.k to be authorized to hold a native fish out of the water by autorized personel .... :yike: Yep guess they know how to handle a fish and no one else does ....
