-expletive-,that's what I thought.
Although this adipose mostly looked small, don't think there was any scarring on the fin itself, more around it, like it got clipped and grew back a little.
I've seen tickets dolled out for half an adipose. I believe it's wrong however it happens. If I were gonna bonk a mis clip I would also look for a missing maxilary or another fin missing. It was happening on the nestucca a lot last year, full adipose, clipped left maxilary, guys keeping them were given tickets. A couple of guides and a conservation group said they would put up the money for anyone to take it to court, but I'm not brave enough to do that...I don't know of anyone else who was either. Anglers there warned OSP it was comming but they insisted that the adipose had to be fully clipped. Just my two cents.
Can someone tell me what the deal is with adipose fish.
