The policy was to comply with HSRG requirements and what SG said as far as I know. Utilizing HSRG as the requirement WDFW decided not to limit things to native stocks, or composite stocks but rather any fish spawning naturally. In the case of Willapa streams the wild ( unclipped ) spawning naturally fish were totally stays from the hatcheries that created and supported the gravel. Nothing natural about them and one can make the case that they are trying to make a true wild fish were one does not exist. They did the same thing on the Humptulips Coho and I am sure other places.
