After a long fight a fish needs to catch his breath. It would be just like if you ran a couple of laps around a track and then someone held you under the water and took pictures of you. Congrats on a nice fish!!

Here is my buddy with a good fish from 11-11-11. Skykomish River near Index caught on a yellow corkie. Had to hit 'em in the face to get him to take it and we let him go. Photos and memories :tup:
Nice just saved this info with the pic that you had for evidence and turned it over to the wildlife officer with your screen name. I got all of your info from the site. Thanks for the Free points. Next time you might regret poaching... Expect a ticket in the mail sooner or later.

Sorry Yelm Hunter, points are only for big game violations. Can't get any for fishing violations. If you are serious about your post you really need to get some help.
Don't worry I don't need to get any help.... I'm sick and tired of POACHERS AND SNAGGERS!! How about them Indians that through them big Triple Hooks over and snag your fish from you that you have been fighting for 15 mins thats 40lbs?? If you were in my shoes and fish as much as I do and own your own boats and guide service you would understand. Oh and don't worry I have plenty of clients that will say the say thing...

Yelm Hunter, I don't like snaggers and poachers any moe than you do, unfortunatly we don't know if this guy was knowingly breaking the law or just stupid.
Does it matter? If you dont know the laws then dont fish. That's like defending some guy for shooting a 2x1 elk in a true spike only :bash:

Some of the shadiest things I've seen hunting and fishing is when I've hired a guide. They're usually more concerned about making the client happy than following the rules. :twocents: Not saying you're one of them...just saying :tup:

But I still think the law does not work. I was over at the Grande Ronde I found two dead steelhead in the water. Now that place is 99% fly fisherman. They take care of the fish way better then gear fishermen because only gear fishermen post pictures of fish out of the water. So based on that, I think fly fisherman should be banned from using longer than 11 foot rods because they ware out the fish and they die with the longer rods.
Post by: Button Nubbs on November 30, 2011, 05:49:56 PM
Please send me the picture I would love to see it. Now that law was put in place last year from what I understand. I understand how to treat a fish so that it lives. But I still wonder if they went too far with this. If you took it out for say 5 seconds then put it back in the water then release it would it still survive?
the problem is there was no water dripping from the fish so just a quick pic is not what happened. the other problem is that the guy had his fingers in the gills and was holding it over the rocks at about upper stomach sternum height while he was standing on his feet. now, have you ever felt how strong a steelhead can be when it gets to squirming around? all it takes is half a second and that fish is falling onto sharp rocks from about 4 1/2' - 5' up. that would be like dropping you from 15' onto rocks after you just fought for your life and had no oxygen to breathe. to be honest there were things in the picture that would lead me to believe that fish was not released but im not gonna go there.

I was kind of going for rediculous there bud. all im getting at is that maybe you should cut the guys some slack and not go around checking pictures for water droplets coming off of fish. :tup:
by the way that fish in your picture probably didnt make it cause it looks like you had his head out of the water for an extended period of time during that photo shoot.
you obviously have no idea how bad the wild steelhead in the snohomish system are doing. mark my words, they will NOT be around forever. this kind of thing really gets under my skin. as pressure keeps rising runs keep declining, as a matter of fact they keep declining so bad that wdfw feels like they have to keep closing the river earlier and earlier to protect them. we need to be doing everything we can to protect these fish and cherish them while they are still around. i love and have the utmost respect for these fish as they were some of the first steelhead i had ever caught and i have spent a lot of time chasing them. it deeply saddends me to see a fish of this caliber treated like that.
your posts show me how clueless you truly are on this subject :twocents:

Agreed. People complain about beating a dead horse, but then people still post pictures showing they have zero ability to correctly handle fish that must be released. People should, and will, continue to comment on poor handling technique as long as people continue to have poor handling technique.

Try just teaching people the right way to do things instead of just immediately alienating them, the damage was already done at the time this pic was taken...

i never said anything about turning the guy in. :dunno: this regulation is nothing new, if memory serves me correct it was put into place in 2004 or 2005, cant recall the exact year. i really dont give a shi+ if the guy feels like an ass, or is pissed off from me blasting him. what if i went out and shot a deer but couldnt find it in an area that used to be open but isnt now? sure, maybe it lived, maybe it didnt. you think id get blasted for that type of thing on here, or you think people would educate me on what i shouldnt have done? thats really no different in my book. ignorance is no excuse espically when its in black and white. :twocents:

there are to many stupid laws that affect all sorts of stupid things.I understand what you're saying, but I'm not sure keeping wild steelhead in the water and carefully releasing them is a "stupid law". Wild steelhead are in a lot of trouble. Glad I was able to enjoy them back in the good old days.

I bet every single one of you that are preachin about how he broke a law, breaks a law every day, we all do. there are to many stupid laws that affect all sorts of stupid things. That's all I am saying. No reason to be Jonny law on here when we already have to deal with that everywhere we go... Hell I am probibally breaking a law by calling the police Jonny law... Also, how do we know it was a native, I know hatcheries don't mark every fish they release, prime example is the Samish River and the numbers of steelhead they release on it.... And I know I have mishandled plenty of fish, but I bet not all of them died.....
not a stupid law at all. sure 1 mishandled fish that dies wont be a problem in a healthy system but the skykomish is FAR from being healthy. the skykomish is currently at 1-2% of historical runs. so today, that one fish could mean alot.

That cracks me up about fly guys who think they are the ultimate fisherman and the attitude they carry, but yet they hook salmon and steelhead and play the chit out of them!! DEAD fish! when released
I saw two of them on Grande Ronde a few weeks ago. My comment about making it illegal for fly rods over 11 feet was facetious in nature. But many of the fly fisherman are playing the fish wayyyyyyyyyy to long. I could not agree more with Huntnnw.

I am not a big fisherman as many of the board members posting on here are. I can see how the fisherman are all "fired" up about this gentlemen posting pictures of an illegal fish. I know I personally would be "fired" up if someone posted an illegal big game animal on here since I am a hunter. I really don't think the guy knew what he was doing or else the pictures would have not been put up; ignorance on his part. But; I think the point has been made that he made a mistake so I don't see how continuing to rub the dudes face in the mud is going to help. If these fish are so close to being extinct then why doesn't the state do more to protect them? I think that the state should adopt some sort of program that Montana has for the identification of bear in their state. If a person plans on fishing a certain lake, stream or river he/she should have to take a fish identity test so they know the difference. If they can't pass the test then they don't fish. :twocents:
the state is doing more to protect them. the want to shut down the river earlier and earlier every few years.

The picture, which apparently included the dude's hands in the gills with a nearly dead fish, is the exact reason the law was enacted. If people were capable of responsibly handling fish (not having hands in gills, only out of the water for a few brief seconds, not dragging them on the beach or dropping them in the boat, etc) then there would be no law. But, people are either unaware of the harm or don't care. So, we now have a law in an attempt to prevent the very thing that has people upset. Personally, I wish people could act responsibly and that I could take a native out of the water for a 2 second photo of such awesome fish. I cannot do so legally thanks to others who screwed it up for the rest of us.
I do think that some of these instances are the result of people who just don't know better. Not everyone was born knowing the proper way to handle a fish.
Just handle the fish properly and with care, hold it so the head and gill plates are still in the water, quick pic, then its back to nature...your absolutely right about that the law is for the people that drag the fish up on the rocks and then kick them back....a short fight, proper handling and a quick pic will not kill a strong "wild" fish....and yes, the eyes do tell the story in a pic...

I will admit that many guys with a fly rod in their hand to tend to fight fish for to long, but I think it has more to do with the number of fish that they have actually caught on that rod and their knowledge of how much pressure they actually can put on the fish. I've caught well over 1000 steelhead and about 1/4 of those have been on fly rods. I can land a 12# wild buck just as fast with a fly rod as I can with a bait casting rod and definitely faster than I can with a spinning rod, but that is because I have caught many,and know the limitations of my rod, leader, knots and hooks. You have to admit that most anglers we see on the river (both gear and fly anglers) probably play their fish too long because most of them have caught very few of these fish and its almost a day ending experience when one gets away.
In the future, rather than crucifying someone on the river for playing their fish too long, put YOUR rod down and go help them out. They may be a novice and need some pointers. You want people to know how to handle fish correctly and not play them to long? Then teach them! That was and is my favorite part about being guide is seeing that AHA! moment when someone figures it out. . . oh and tying up the launch on a river 500 miles from my house while I tie a custom nymphing leader onto my 11' Sage switch rod, while smoking a cigar and airing out my second bottle of cabernet. Thanks guys!

I don't konw why i'm even bothering adding my two cents to this, but I feel compelled. For everyone out there that is fly-ignorant, a 10' 8 weight fly rod is about the same strength as a 10' med - med/hvy spinning or bait casting rod. Now being one of those lowly GUIDES that everyone is talking about, I can add input from both sides. I have guided both gear and fly anglers and to this day still fish with either technique depending on the day, location, and species pursued (of course its easier to fling a float rig with a spinning rod when you drank too much pinot the night before :tup: ).

I think the action of the rod is what makes people perceive that fly anglers play the fish too long. Most spinning outfits are going to be fast or x-fast while fly setups are more moderate to slow. Casts an illusion of a weak low power rod.

Dsiclaimer....... Not making light of the matter. Please leave all wild fish in the water. all cigars were extinguished in a proper manner before photo was taken. All orange vests were removed prior to photos and no trees were harmed after said humpings, all worms photo'd in cans or backs of pick up trucks were props...Irepeat no worms were harmed in this huntwa photoshoot.Know the rules

That won't add much flame.... you need to strike to the heart of it. All of the 509 er flyfishers are ok, its all the westside ones that are tree humpin cigar smoking dweebs. :chuckle: Anyone that drives a subaru or a Beemer to the fishing spot.......Hey! I resemble that remark! My favorite hunt rig ia a suberu impreza no shock s in the back on eheadlight out and get 35 miles to the gallon! Might not always make it home but I take the chance to save a buck for the kids shoes ;)

Damn bone you hit the nail on the head. I'm an eastside fly guy and the west siders that come over here are always in a subaru wagon ore a beemer lol. Not the most pleasant guys either especially when they see you keep.

For everyone out there that is fly-ignorant, a 10' 8 weight fly rod is about the same strength as a 10' med - med/hvy spinning or bait casting rod.
There in lies the problem with fly fishing,
you loose inches before you even start fishing ............. off your pole that is. :stirthepot:
:fishin:
LOL
ok so was it just me or was that damn funny :chuckle: :dunno:
Ok, let's make it really go sideways now. :chuckle: The damn sea lions and gillnets don't care if they're wild or not. :sry:
thats kinda what I was thinking back in the first page...ummm those of us who follow the rules with care really are douing it to make ourselves feel better because gillnets, sealions and natives can kill em all :dunno:

Fly fishers are a bunch of cigar smoking, wine drinking, homosexual yuppies :tup:
Just carrying on the debate :chuckle:
Traditional black powder hunters are egotistical cigar smoking homosexuals who drink water with their pinky finger up... :tup: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

all in fun :chuckle:,actually I would love to learn it,I tend to snap the flies. when I try..I use to love watching a friend of mines father fish with flies..
Im with ya, kiddin aside, it is fun and you should learn! Its like anything else, one bad apple for a "group" of people can leave a bad taste in your mouth, the majority of fly fisherman are kind and have the best intentions......but there is nothin like havin the rod slam down while pullin plugs right in front of a fly guide while they're having lunch on your home river!! haha! :tup: :dunno: :chuckle: :tung:
