I always de-barb them too. How do you go about de-barbing yours? I use a pair of needle-nose pliers and crimp the barb down until it doesn't exist anymore. What about you?
it is good for a year
I don't have to have a Residential Annual Angling License to purchase a CAT
So the CAT then allows me to only keep native fish (still have their adipose fin). Yet if I want the HHT, I also have to have the CAT.
I could fill a HHT to the max (let's just say 5 fish) and then purchase another one to catch another 5 and go on and on like that. Is this right?
f I happen to hook into a hatchery fish, I will c&r it because I wouldn't have a HTT.
I guess that I could always just call the ODFW office and get the answers from them if needs be but I am at work right now and don't have that kind of time to call
If I don't want to record the hatchery fish on the CAT, that is where the HHT comes in, which allows me to save those spots on my CAT for natives.
It is good for a calendar year: Jan 1 - Dec 31. It is not prorated.
You will need the license to fish, a tag does not permit you to fish by itself, even for the listed species
The HHT is only for additional fish you catch over your tag. your CAT DOES allow you to keep clipped fish, where appropriate and legal as dictated by the fishery. To clarify: the HHT will not give you any additional privileges until you have maxed your tag. I would wait to buy one until you have filled your tag (good luck).
Yes.
Again, this would be unnecessary: see above.
I think this is exactly the kind of thing OFF is for.

That is an interesting question; I don't know the answer, but it seems like a possibility.
Do you really see yourself taking 20 natives in the next four and a half months? I know it's possible, but I would probably just buy the CAT.
