So are you saying that all trout are not clipped. How can they expect to make it a keep only hatchery fish fishery when they aren't marked? I can tell the difference but maybe not everyone can.

That is what most folks do not understand about WA. a lot of people on other forums who claim to be super pros, were the first to claim poaching. It was very strange to say the least. But yes, very nice fish. I bet that big 'ol buck cut better than we think. I'm always surprised at the quality of the he-fish, especially in the local creek.
