I must of missed something. There is alot of cheering going on because "sportsfishers" can't keep native steelhead. The nets in the rivers are still going to be there and habitat degradation is going on at rapid pace. Hook and line fishing (not snagging) does not have that big of impact on the fish unless you are fishing on the spawing beds. A very large percentage of fish never get hooked. Any step forward even if it is a small step is good thing, but just C & R is not going to solve the problem of declining stocks.
