I can help you with this one Smalma.

It is true that most anglers that fish on the West End both local and visitors want to kill a fish and they dont care if its wild or hatchery. There is a percentage that is strictly CnR that fishes out here but it is very small compared to the percentage that will kill natives.

It is easy to see that people come here to take a fish home. The majority of anglers fish where you can kill natives id say its 20 to 1 people fishing in non-selective areas verses people fishing in CnR areas.

The Creel samples on the WDFW site are not completely accurate, (Fair and Balanced) in my opinion as most of the samples are done in areas where you can kill natives and not in CnR areas. I know some are done time to time in the CnR areas but not often, then agian there are far more anglers in the non-restrictive areas because they can harvest Natives, and lets face it thats the biggest attractant to the Quileute System..
