Unfortunately the utility of the hatchery has performed 100% in line with the easy math that many of us were pointing out when it was proposed...at best, it would provide one extra season per decade.

At best.

Unless they reduced the escapement goal...in which case, they wouldn't need the hatchery at all, there were plenty of fish to fish for at a reduced E-goal before the hatchery, and almost no more fish now than there were then.

Fish on...
