I have often wondered why the regs are written the way they are. On the
N.F. Stilly it is Catch & Release except legal to retain hatchery
steelhead. I interpret this as it is legal to fish for anything as long as
you release it. I've heard you can be ticketed(has anyone ever recieved
such a ticket?) for targeting salmon. Since it is illegal to retain searun
cutthroat....is it illegal to fish for them? Is it unethical to target a
salmon but not a searun cutthroat? Have I missed something in the regs?
