Last plan I heard about the Wynoochee mitigation money was that the dollars were going to be used to produce fish at other, existing hatcheries in the basin (Bingham and Stevens, maybe?). Won't do a lick of good for the Nooch, but it would create more harvestable fish for ocean and gillnet fisheries, which is WDFW's ultimate mission.

Haven't heard anything in a while, so maybe that idea has disappeared as well...

As Drifter would say, GRRRRRR....
