wouldn't hold it against someone who ate the trout under those
circumstances but I kinda doubt the Yellowstone Rangers would
feel the same way about it.



I think the Rangers understand the situation just fine, but making
exceptions to C&R for dying fish makes C&R regs unenforcible. The regs
need to be black and white.

For example, on our Ontario tribs, if the CO picks up your terminal tackle,
and your lead hangs lower than your lowest hook, you're going to be cited,
regardless of how honorable or dishonorable your intentions were.
