Todd - I assume that also you disagree with the statement that...
"Catch and release is not needed for conservation. It will only allocate away from the current class of fishermen who may want to keep some of their fish, to another class of fishermen who do not. Neither group has it necessarily wrong, and the present system of extensive catch and release sections plus the five fish annual limit is a good and working compromise."

If you want to convince me that the Quillayute is showing any sign of decline you will have to post some recent run-size, harvest and escapement numbers.

Got any for the Hoh or Queets? I'd love to see them also.

Without numbers I must assume that you are making much of that stuff up.
