John,
Thanks for the thoughtful reply.
Washington state has very few fish for
fee lakes. Even the one along I-5 FWy
couldn't make a go of it.....And what fish
for fee ponds we do have, most are stocked
with varieties of trout not warm water species.
As far as offering to buy fish from sports
fisherman...this is strictly taboo. Gamefish
(which YB is considered) can not be sold, traded,
bartered....etc. Ergo, nothing as overt as you
described (posting "bounty rewards" would work
here)
I have surveyed bank fisherman on a variety of
likely sloughs etc....no luck and I'm afraid
that the summer weather will be coming to an
end and my chances of getting YB are quickly diminishing.
I do appreciate your trying to help me out.
Bob
