Don't forget it's a classified water and you need the appropriate tags to fish it as well as a steelhead tag!

Since so many of you sound very concerned about the state of Thompson River steelhead, I guess we'll be seeing a bunch of you at this event?

I'll probably be there. I'm trying to get some friends together as well whether they're anglers or not.

Great idea JC... I had some non-angling friends come out last time and they actually really enjoyed it.

It's really disappointing and disturbing to see the posted pictures of young steelheaders holding bone dry Thomson steelhead in their grip and grin poses. We all know that holding a fish out of water for as little as 30 secs. significantly reduces its chances of surviving catch and release. That's the reason Washington state regs. require anglers to keep fish in the water in a catch-and-release fishery. It's bad enough that some BC anglers have accepted Bison's spurious rationale for opening the Thomson to sport fishing - fewer than a thousand fish out of a historic run of 20,000 - they should at least do everything in their power to ensure that the steelhead they release will survive to spawn.
