It’s all part of a conservation project started in 1991 to rid these waters of a predatory fish that has a negative impact on salmon and steelhead, two species that drive much of the recreational angling economy in the region.

Suddenly the idea of becoming a full-time fish predator doesn’t sound so crazy, does it? If that sounds like a fantasy gig that couldn’t possibly exist, just ask the guy that earned nearly $70,000 dollars last year recreationally fishing. Have you ever thought about quitting your day job and just getting paid to rope fish all day? No, I’m not talking about tournament fishing, I’m talking about becoming a bounty hunter-or fisher. So, you think you’re a pretty good fisherman? You marvel, maybe, at your ability to load a stringer full of stocked trout while all the other spinner-chuckers around you are blanking? Are you the angler who routinely manages to pull a big bass out of that over-pressured park pond while every other shiner-dunker is scratching? Then maybe you’re ready to level up.
