Big elk creek kokanee spawn

[Fishaholicsteve]

Just curious, but it is not illegal to go try and catch and release a few Fish in hopes of landing a male in spawn form. If it is unethical then why don't I see similar suggestions to people fishing spawning crappie, or steelhead or salmon for that matter? I am not intending on breaking any laws or even keeping any Fish so what difference does it make?
