Well said 4x4, i'm sure this has been and will continue to be an ongoing topic of debate.  As you said respect and not wanton slaughter of fish is what I'm sure all readers of this forum are about.

HI.............. My name is Rick...... and ... I .... am a Bait Fisherman ........ I have been for years now... there I said it....     my girlfriend hates the smell of roe... she hates it living in our freezer.... but I can't help it...... 

[Fish Assassin]

You are not alone Thickrick

[Sandy]

I do as well, though I've now gone 8 days without using bait ( roe ) I have tried spinners but the urge is still there.

[Sandy]

P.S ,should you use the stincky stuff, remember to wipe the sterring wheel ,controls of your vehicle especialy if you've borrowed your wife's car (more economical)

banned from driving the wifes car l 

[TrophyHunter]

hahahaha thx for the advice..... I honestly think I would be cut off for a year if I got roe on her precious jeep !!!  hahaha

[Rodney]

And don't rub your eyes while using roe. Found out what happens the hard/blurry way last year.

when i was a kid  learning to fish i used bait, and yes you catch more using bait,so that was cool.
but to be a more technical fisherman learning allthe techniques, one must move off the basics and mature into a proficient fisherman in all aspects.  Back to bait, the mortality rate I believe is far greater.  How many times you figure a wild steelhead is caught on its venture up and down the Vedder River, we don't know, but it's more than once.  I would say several and that stress has to take a toll on the wild stock because a fish cannot resist bait.

Irrelevant to the regulations of fishing techniques.

Back to bait, the mortality rate I believe is far greater.

Far greater than ____? believe = theory, know = fact.

we don't know, but it's more than once.

If we don't know, how do we know it's more than once?

just one more comment, I don't fish to catch the biggest, I don't fish to fill my punch card and I don't fish to bring home dinner.  And I don't fish for bragging rights.  I fish to relax and enjoy nature and have a walk-about on the river and to catch a fish is a bonus on such a lovely river.  In one more comment, fishing with bait is no different than putting a salt lick out to shoot a deer.  I think down south they call it chumming.  Thanks for all your attention and interest in this discussion. Fish as it makes you comfortable. Wazzu.

No matter what you do, what you say, they will alway be someone out there to go...

BLAH....BLAH...BLAH...BLAH......BLAH...BLAH....BLAH...BLAH... I am holier than thou!!!!!!!

Do whats is right within the regualtions and enjoy the moment when you see the float takes a dive and a connections is made with the headshake of a mighty steelhead........

[wazzu]

Chris is an exception to the rule and, yes, he does more to enhance the river than anyone else I know, which I know first hand, because as we know, he cathces wild stock to enhance the river.  And don't forget the other things that he does for the good of Chilliwack.
