I don't know about BC Rules, but in Washington, that would usually be a violation of your daily limit. 
I was just playing, but for the record, you are allowed 2 hatchery steelhead a day in the region.. so it IS legal.

Johnny is correct. It is legal.

yeah 2 hatchery steelhead a day, on 2 different systems , once you bonked one you have to pack up and leave and you can go to another river for another one...

So.... if your allowed 2 per day, can you bonk one at the vedder go home drop it off and head back out to the vedder ??? how is anyone going to know..

You are not allowed to do that as that is double dipping. Just like when sockeye season is open people go get their two fish drop them off than go and get another two. Its against the regulations. People break the regs all the time, which is wrong.

You have to tag the fish marking down the river that you got it and the date. Once you do that, would you really want to risk going back to the same river system for another?

If you go to the Chehalis, you will then tag the fish as being caught in the Chehalis.

I spoke to DFO about this specifically.  FF you are right in that you are allowed 2 steelies a day in region 2...last year you could have retained 2 on the seymour or one from two single daily limit rivers like the vedder and chehalis.  You are also right in saying it could be a dicey situation if you get stopped and checked.  They advised me I would need to be able to prove the origin of each fish ie a photo taken at a recorgnizable location on each river.

Photos could be easily doctored as simple as changing the date on the camera.

If I am not mistaken, hunting licenses have to be cut out. This way, you cannot erase the record after you get home!!!

You could use ink that turns invisable and never worry about anything ::). There,s not enough jails for BAD fisherpersons IMO. :(

In conclusion, after debating for a minute as I held it in the water, I decided to let it go!  We fished for the rest of the day and then at about 4 oclock that afternoon I caught another one as luck would have it and as it was a hatechery as well, I kept it.  To demonstrate even more good fortune, my buddy caught another just minutes later using the same white worm, his was also a hatch, so we both went home with our steelies!   So it paid off at least that time for both of us! The steelie gods were smiling on us!

RW.  Posted at 4:27 AM this morning.  Hopefully you were just headed out fishing, and not going to work.  How was the flow?
