Every now and then I'll see some families or single people show up down at the Vedder, grab some worms and quickly max out on their 4 "hatchery trout".
The worst of this was probably about a month ago when the river seemed to be teeming with them. The fish these guys are catching and keeping are only about 6 - 8 inches long, definately missing their adipose fin, and looking like little rainbows. they'd pull them in with almost every cast.
Are these not, in fact, hatchery steelhead?
Wouldn't it be best to let these little guys swim off and do the whole ocean thing?
Are these guys just being ignorant? Whats the deal?
