Are you sure those clip rate figures are the truth? if they are true then someone (WDFW?) needs to explain the very high unclipped to clip ratio in the sport catch. There ain't that many wild fish in the rivers. The wild chinook runs are very low and in some cases endangered. Somebody did not clip the hatchery chinook. The two year old chinook are highly clipped the older three and four year old clipped chinook are at a much smaller clipped rate from my observations and those of the recs I know in Area 11.
