Thank you all for the information. I know a lot more now. Hopefully, the 
monitored trout fishery on the Methow will indicate acceptable escape 
numbers. It's hard for me to believe that a closely watched catch and release 
fishery would result in a mortality rate of any significance, but the 
biologists know best about these things. I too have spent many enjoyable days 
fishing the rivers and streams in that area, and I look forward to their 
re-opening.      Bob Martin
