Just wondering if it is legal to keep a hatchery steelhead on a stringer, alive, all day before killing it?? This is what I witnessed on the Cowichan today. I f*&kin' lost it. And then the guy has the nerve to pull a wild buck onto the rocks before it broke his leader and managed to flop its way back into the river and luckily swim off. DO PEOPLE NOT KNOW HOW TO HANDLE A FISH PROPERLY?? HAVE SOME RESPECT FOR THESE SPECIAL FISH! I guess we need a course for this too. How to handle fish before release. It should be mandatory before people get there freshwater license. If I witness this again you will be walking home.
