Redds in the snake river question

[packfish]

Without a doubt don't be an idiot about it, I have always said the greatest thing you can have going for you whether it be fishing, hunting, investing or playing go fish- is knowledge about what you are doing- learn everything you possibly can. I didn't mean to say screw the redds- but I guess I have heard this story so many damn times that I came off wrong. Everyone should make an effort not to destroy spawning beds- like I said I don't fish spawning trout- that's pretty much 100% not destroying any redds. My point is that every single BROWN trout does not have to have a successful spawn to perpetuate the species. I have watched guys jump all over newer fisherman for supposedly doing this and reading them the riot act about how they personally just wiped out the river, After talking with them I found they were just spouting off about what they really knew little about because they had heard someone else spout off about it. Be intelligent about what you do but again if you make a mistake and fall in the river and roll down through a spawning bed and you crawl your way out disturbing a Brown TROUT spawning bed- don't sell your rod and give up fishing because of it. Another beef I have is that and I know it's because the browns are so visible- rarely do you hear someone talking about destroying redds when it comes to other species of trout. What I want out of everyone wanting to be a serious fisherman is for them to read and bone up on everything about the sport er life style- because that's is what it becomes a life style not a sport. Sure ask on the internet but go a little further and dig a little deeper- Library- books, stop and watch fisherman and don't even fish. Just like anything else you don't become good at what you do the first time you do it. You'll find that your learning curve about everything you do just got cut in half.
