Hi RW,
I keep a fish every now and then and have no problem with folks who fish within the rules.
Charlie
If they are stockers and it's towards the end of the season (warm water here in AZ kills most trout at the lower elevation levels), I'll keep what we might eat "fresh". Otherwise, back to catch another day (I hope).
I have a problem with the Reapers who fill the freezer and then use them fish as cat food, etc. 1 year later But, to each his own in the end 'cause sometimes "one can't bathe the unwashed".

Keep a feed when you want one. seems pretty natural to me. jax

I'm a much better Fly fisher when talking fishing, than when I'm Actually Fly fishing!
I don't keep fish if they will live when released.
I don't have problems with folks that kill fish up to the legal limit. In stocked fisheries I think that the limits may be set too high if the fish are depleted after each stocking, as is the case in many of the small streams in my area. Fishing isn't fun if there aren't any fish in the water.

Keep whatever you, or someone you know, will eat. Anyone who thinks that they don't kill fish while flyfishing is in a world detatched from reality.

RW, I make that determination before I head to the water. Probably 80% of the time I'm just fishing for relaxation, and it is catch and release. Other times, My wife and I have determined in advance it's time for a FRESH fish dinner, and I will selectively keep on that trip.
Except for trout here in Texas, where I keep any I catch. I dont fish the Guadalupe for trout, so all I catch are put and die, one way or the other.
Jim
You're right on about that one JC! Sing it loud brother!! I rarely keep trout only because I don't care for the taste of fish ( imagine that, a fly fishing guide who doesn't like the tast of fish ), but if people want to keep a few for the pan, and they're not just going to throw them in the freezer, or show them off to their friends, more power to them. I've seen too many dead fish in C&R rivers where they've been mishandled to believe we're not doing some damage regardless of C&R.

I like fresh trout and cook them in some olive oil and fresh lemon juice. Nice and crispy.

I may keep one or two in a season,that few mainly because I am not a big fish eater and I tend to cut my fingers alot with sharp knives. I figure if you want keep enough for a dinner or two that is ok by me.
