[cool]Hey, FFM, nice pics and good report.
Judging by the skinny flanks on a couple of those fish in the pics, it would seem that a bit more harvest would not hurt the remaining population. I sometimes think that the overzealous C&R folks are their own worst enemies...when they allow a stream to develop a larger population than it can support.
I would rather catch fewer and healthier fish than a bunch of skinny runts.
