WDFW works (supposedly) for the folks who pay the freight.

I don't think that wild steelhead can coexist with any sort of hatchery program. Too many issues. We have to get too either/or. The Green, as a supremely urban watershed, at least in the anadromous zone, should be hatchery steelhead. The Skagit wild. And so on.

The kicker would be that if society chooses to **ck the watershed, they pay for hatcheries. Hatcheries should all be mitigation for damaged/destroyed habitat. Not for enhancement but for mitigation.
