Didn't the Snyder Creek hatchery produce positive results? I don't know much about it. I participated in the Satsop Broodstock program, and it seemed to work. Any hatchery project needs to be scrutinized, not just the same old business as usual, which I think WDFW does too much of.

Many years ago (1970's) the late great John Clayton had hatchery salmon practices on the Kalama that brought about terrific spring Chinook survival and return rates.
