If you want to understand the problem, look at the number of hatchery returns versus wild. Wild stocks are the limiting factor, no matter how many hatchery fish get surplused. We're talking what... 5 to 1 H to W here?

From an angler (and Tribal) perspective, a harvestable fish is a harvestable fish. From a management perspective, only the high finners count. Not enough of those, and we end up on the couch.
