Thanks for all the help
I have to write a paper about the other side of the story. Next week so I will post that too I am sure you can all guess what it will be about C&K of native steelhead.
But for some reason I dont think that it will be as good as the first one

This is the second part of my paper and it is the catch and kill version of the paper.
I dont agree with C&K but I have to write a paper on it so just try to keep an open mind while reading it ok This is also a rough draft too.

Catch and Killing of Native Steelhead

Native Steelhead are a faint dream for most fisherman. There are a few rivers where wild steelhead are alowed to be caught and killed. So why do the people who fish the rivers get a bad name?

People think that wild steehead should be preserved. There are rivers with a big enough wild fish population that sport fisherman can catch and kill a native fish but people still belive that it is wrong. Wild fish are our heritage so we sould be able to fish for them too right.

There are many reasons why people would rather fish for native steelhead. Wild steelhead fight harder then hatchery fish, because of that the wild steelhead are a more of a challange then hatchery.
Some people also belive that native steehead are harder to catch thus making them even more of a challange to catch.

Another reason why people go after native steelhead is they taste better. Most experinced people have eaten a wild fish before in their life and they can tell the difference between a fish who started its life in a hatchery and one that started its life in the wild.

I ahve not come up with an ending yet but and impute on this would be nice
Thanks

Go ahead and read it but I dont have a disk to save it so I thought I would jsut post it ok

Catch and Killing of Native Steelhead

Native Steelhead are a faint dream for most fisherman, but there are a few rivers where wild steelhead are allowed to be caught and killed. Wild steelhead are one of the great game fish that have ever swam in our rivers. . So why do the people who fish the rivers get a bad rap?

People think that wild steelhead should be preserved. There are rivers with a big enough wild fish populations that sport fisherman can catch and kill a native fish but people still believe that it is wrong. Wild fish are our heritage so we should be able to fish for them too right. Not according to some people, they believe that because the fish have diminished in other river the same will happen to all, but that is not totally true. There are many examples of one run of fish that has died off and another run still thriving. Like the Sol Duc that river has a huge run of native steelhead and is open almost year round. But the skokomish river steelhead are almost all extinct because of some bad choices the tribes have mad in the past. Because people use one river to set the standard for all they don�ft get the whole picture.

There are many reasons why people would rather fish for native steelhead. Wild steelhead fight harder then hatchery fish, because of that a wild steelhead are a more of a challenge then hatchery steelhead. Look at it this way would you like to spend countless hours trying to catch a hatchery steelhead, only to find out that once they are hooked it�fs a short and soft fight? I would rather go after some thing that you have to work for not some thing that is going to give up after five minutes.
Another reason why people go after native steelhead is they taste better. Most experienced fish people have eaten a wild fish before in their life and they can tell the difference between a fish who started its life in a hatchery and one that started its life in the wild. Another example, would you rather eat a wild rainbow trout or a store bought pen-raised rainbow trout? Now keep in mind they come from the same family but one has lived its life in the wild and the other in a pen. I would go for the wild one.

Wild steelhead are in the rivers so a fisherperson has a chance to catch one and take it home for dinner.

Here comes the banjo....

Some people think wild steelhead taste better....what yutz is spouting this crap?? Yet another lame excuse for clubbing wild fish. True, hatchery smolts do munch on powerbait hatchery food for a short while at the beginning of their life cycle, but wild fish are eating bugs and rotting flesh at the same time. They both spend the majority of their life at sea eating the exact same stuff.
I have never eaten wild steelhead, but I'll bet the farm that they don't taste any different. I've grubbed tons of springer, both clipped and unclipped, and there is NO difference!!

Simmer down now BL2
Did you not read the first part before I started the paper?

I said that "This is the second part of my paper and it is the catch and kill version of the paper.
I dont agree with C&K but I have to write a paper on it so just try to keep an open mind while reading it ok This is also a rough draft too."

So dont get all mad. I had to write that stuff.

YO. Doug. Remember what I suggested about proof reading your papers for spelling and punctuation. You're in college and lots of us ol' guys like to teach younger people how to fish, pick up girls, and spell . So treat us like your teachers when you post even a rough draft and spell check and proof read. I know this latest paper is just the anti-thesis required, but I will mention that I don't recall from years ago that nates and brats tasted much different. In fact, the BC farm chinook product is better than most native chinook (where very abundant enough for harvest).

Hey Steve

About the way steelhead taste it was just another reason I was tryin to come up with reasons but it is really hard when you disagree with some thing Teach
