All hatchery fish do not need to die as some have formerly thought and promoted. The thought that hatchery fish are bad has ruined many of our fishing opportunities. Hopefully those folks will admit that they are wrong and work to restore the hatchery production.
On another note it looks like WFC is working to shut down Reiter and the Green along with all other puget sound summer steelhead. I wonder if the steelhead fishermen will step up to fight back or if they will just let another fishery go.
