I have 2 very good friends that aren't fishing for 2 more years because they caught and kept 2 mis-clipped fish. The adipose fin was half missing and had a flat top, but the F&G officer decided in both cases to press the charge. One was cited in Riggins, the other in Salmon. It is not worth losing your fishing privileges and/or being fined for one fish.
It is unfortunate that some F&G folks can't exercise common sense and recognize a fin that was clipped half off indeed belongs to a hatchery fish. Congrats on releasing the fish. Don't second guess your actions, you did the smart thing.[font "Calibri"] [/font]
