With all due respect, if I can make it to a river with these fish in it once maybe twice a year, and fish within the regs, I’m going to try and catch some fish. Spawning water is closed for a reason and from what I’ve experienced, people are very respectful and responsible about catching and releasing bulls in that area.

We’re all just out there trying to follow the rules and catch some fish.

Edit: To be clear, I’m not talking about catching fish on beds. I’m no expert on bull trout migration but I’m trying to learn more and if they’re up that way for maybe 2 months a year people go there to try and catch em. I was there for 3 days last trip and came to know the fish cop in the area in that time. They’re out there checking on us and making sure we’re playing nice.
