"We recieved a major guilt trip from the guide on the river at the end of the day."

Did the fish die on you while you were on a trip? Perhaps the guide's choice of fishing methods played a part in it??

It's gonna happen no matter how careful you are from time to time ... but anglers can lessen the chances of it happening by fishing wisely.

assalyanizim ... why kill the fish for a mount? No need this day in age for a steelhead mount around these parts! Lame excuse in my book.
