A few years ago we had a hatchery for the Deschutes beyond planning phase. About thirty million cost. Had plans tthat included lots of room for volunteers and a large meeting room for volunteers from fishing orgs. Plans completed at a cost of almost a million. Got city of Tumwater to give us the property. It would have provided harvestable fish from Neah Bay to Olympia. Turned out WDFW spent a lot of money on project engineers salaries, not full timers. What we got eventually was a new holding pond and improved fish ladders. WDFW sold the project to legislature as a "hatchery". More harvestable fish would be good. WDFW killed off the wild Deschutes run!
