Its good to know that most of these fish we are catching and releasing are most likely hatchery fish
Are all hatchery coho clipped?

Me and chris73 will be at Jack Brooks again next year I'm sure, a group from the 6 mile poker will likely be there as well. Gonna be tight for space at this rate, but I'm sure they will find a way to fit a bunch of helpers. I enjoyed it, you got a bbq with it, highly recommend.

Naaaaaaaah, that would make too much sense for the DFO to accept it.

Not sure I feel the same way ...I'd rather know we were releasing wilds rather than led to beleive we were releasing wilds.
I'd like to see fishers keeping their first 2 Coho caught ( knowing they were all hatchery) and then go target a different species, rather than potententially harming a whole whack of unclipped hatchery Coho ( during release ) while looking for clipped hatchery Coho to keep. Seems an unnecessary waist of time and handling ( and needless stress on fish ) to me.
Although I think I see what angle you were implying .... you'd rather be releasing hatchery fish than wild because of preference to harming a hatchery over a wild ? hmmm

I agree w/ you 100% and have been saying this for years. I see in no way how battling a large wild coho for 10-15 minutes, netting it (as most people do I guarantee), dropping it onto the floor of the boat, removing slim from the fish, removing hooks, pulling out of the net and dumping it into the water is good for survival.
You can not argue this is "better" for conservation than catch-keep and go.
This is simply another ploy by the feds and DFO to blatantly ruin and deplete wild fish stocks through abhorrent regulations so they can maintain their pathetic "doom and gloom" existance.
Let's be clear. The 10-20% of competent and responsible anglers will handle and release these fish in a manner that will sustain a relatively high survival rate but the other morons we are hearing more and more about on this site are simply murdering these fish by simply hooking them.
Another "conservation" method that is beyond a joke by a group entrusted to enforce and regulate a sustainable fishery.

I was being sarcastic
most fish being released may be hatchery fish. or are they wild???..It is a shame to not know if they are hatchery fish. The regulations came out when all fish were being clipped, now that they aren't...maybe the regulations shoudld be revised
