I know it was Bob's quote. No one will know exact count. Just a guesstimate from reported boat traffic and fishing success plus bankies and plunkers and poached fish based on reports from a number of sources that were there and saw the bloodbath. One guide thast has been opposed to the C&R regs said that after this week-end, his mind was changed from what he saw.

Hardly the end-all ... but a chance to stop the bleeding on a river that has seen some very lean years lately. C&R mortality will would just barely allow it meet escapement ... no justification for kill fishery.

Time to start on the harder things
