Why not just spawn the fish out? If they don't want to keep and use the fertilized eggs then dispose of them. They can also be planted in some of the larger reservoirs where they do just fine as landlocked rainbows.
Then just let the kelts return to the ocean. The females survive better, but a good number of males do also. Why do they feel they have to kill and dispose of them? They aren't salmon, and they do return more than once to spawn again.
