My friend went today.  He called me and told me about his report.  I will let him post it if he wants to...

But more importantly, I wanted to say this.  He has talked with 5 ppl on the river.  All of them are stating that they are looking for steelhead with the intention of keeping one.  At the end of the conversation, my friend asked if anyone has a steelhead stamp, and none of them has one.  3 of them replied that they already purchased the salmon stamp.  2 of them simply did not have any salmon stamp on.

He told them in order for fish and keep a hatchery steelhead, you do need a stamp.  1 person actually left and saying he is getting one right away , and the other 4 changed their target fish into late chum salmon and continue fishing...

Timely reminder Charles.

In order to fish for Steelhead you need a stamp regardless if you intend on keeping a hatchery or not.

Actually I just go to the Superstore,no license, no steelhead stamp required ,no specified water stamp,manditory debarbed hook and bait ban only to release wild fish waste of time ,no falling into the river on slippery rocks persueing never caught  so called invisable hard to find steelhead,but I wonder where these Superstore ones were caught? Seen in IGA and Costco too.I dont see any adipose fin clip.Do you  mean I get to pig out on wild steelhead caught by commercial fishermen at the supermarket but the government mandates you to free them all because they are so called endangered species.Suckers!Ill just go fire up the oven now and eat all your wild steelhead.

Some come from south of the border, natives are allowed to sell them under the  court decision that gave them 50% of the catch.

   Oh okay they are farm steelheads.Still mighty tasty though .I like to bake a fillet with some olive oil on the bottom of the pan with capers strewn across the bottom smothered with liquid hickory smoke.Skin side up for 35 min at 350 degrees.I asked one of my buddies who caught a Vedder hatchery steelhead for comparison and he say its the same as the supermarket ones.
