I need help.

The risk of genetic extinction through hybridization
is real.

I don't think so. There you are, and monkeys and humans are still doing
fine, thank you very much.

You'd do well to read authors other than me Wolfman. I'm flattered and
all but there's a big world out there waiting for you and some of
these guys are a lot more eloquent.

A cash flow runs through it.

if you like you can meet up with myself and some of my friends we fish
the musky and flatbrook we will put you on some fish and we don't
fish with the baiters either so it could be a good fit

Hi rw,

I checked with Idaho F&G and I hate to tell you that you've been
releasing stockers.

Oh my God! How can I ever live with myself? :-)

I don't mind releasing stockers. I mind killing wild fish.

Good. I'm glad you fessed up.

For the record, you've conceded that you can not tell the difference
between a streamborn trout and one that was born in a hatchery and
stocked.

That's at least a step in the right direction. I appreciate your
honesty.

Now, we need to understand why you don't mind killing and causing
extinction of your indigenous cutthroat trout by releasing stocked
rainbow.

It is impossibile to catch and release a wild trout.

I follow the regulations.

The regulations stipulate that stream trout with intact adipose fins are
presumed to be wild and must be released, so that's what I do.

I spend most of my time fishing in waters where there is no stocking
whatsoever. ALL of the fish are wild, and must be released according to
the regulations (except for whitefish). These are mostly cutthroat that
migrate upstream during the summer, but there are a few rainbows mixed in.

Occasionally I'll fish in the Main Fork of the Salmon near town just to
catch a creel full. Virtually ALL of those fish I catch, aside from the
odd bull trout, are stockers with clipped fins. I don't believe that a
decent sized trout can even survive in that river over the winter.

Why don't you fish with baiters Dennis?

Why do you suppose that there's no limit on whitefish? They're a
native species right? They're delicious smoked and people (including
myself) will often harvest 40 or more in the fall. According to you
and others here if there weren't regulations they'd be wiped out. Yet,
no limit, people harvest them in the extreme, and...wow...they're
still here.

How can that be?

Serious questions command serious answers.

I'll ask the boss if a decent sized fish can survive the winter in
that river. I'll let you know.

TC,

Don't be surprised by the response you got. I've asked Mr. Bone the same
question several time, he generally dances around it. In your case, he just
acted dumb...

It's a waste of time trying to get honest answers, many have tired.

Catch & Release is a conservation effort to protect stream viability for the
future generations, while enjoying the sport of fishing.

Suppose you ran over a Tibetan monk in your Ferrari on the way to fish
the Frying Pan.

Despite Tim's constant protestations, I'd venture a guess that most
Ruffians attitudes are similar. We don't have problems with areas that

an all or nothing situation for us like it is for Tim. We are
comfortable in how we approach the sport. Tim isn't, therefore he's
trying to drag everyone else down to his level.

I've run into C&R bigots on the water, typically when I'm seen killing a
fish. They're extremely annoying, but rare.

I don't know of a single C&R bigot on ROFF. There is, however, a C&K bigot.

BTW, I'll gladly kill trout that are stocked. (I think stocked fish cook
up very well -- perfect pan size and well fed if freshly stocked :-).

I'm loathe to kill a wild trout unless it's fatally hooked. Anyway,
keeping a wild trout is usually illegal where I fish locally (unless
they're brook trout).

The "subsistence" argument for anti-C&R is absurd.

You can't tell the difference between a wild and a stocked trout.

Yes I can.

You can tell a fish that was born in the river versus one that was
stocked as fry or that was stocked as a catchable and is a multi-year
holdover? Unless you're talking about Steelhead with clipped fins, I'd
sure like to hear how you can tell.

Maybe you would like "lack of wariness" better? Like being gobbled by
the herons following the trucks.

Dave

That's nature versus nurture. The ones that survive will become wary,
provided decent privacy from homo sapien.

Of course a whole lot of the fry are eaten by that big one you
released while fishing a streamer.
