what kind of fish is this???

I fish Caterpillar Island on the Mighty Columbia, not too far from where you are fishing, except I am on the Washington side. I catch them once in a while and wondered what they were and an experienced fisherman was putting his boat in and I caught one and asked him. He said it was a stealhead smolt also. I was going to cut it for bait and he told me he thought it was allowed. The regulations in this state are so complicated and cumbersome I would not be surprized at any reg anymore. It almost keeps me from fishing at all, which is what I think the whole point of so many restrictions is.
