sorry dcrzfitter,i stand corrected.you take natives spawn and kill them, raise smolts in the hatchery,release fin clipped natives in the small tribs,they come back people catch and kill them.sounds like a great program.my only other question is can't natives spawn on their own?do the fin clipped natives go back to that little trib and spawn, or where they came from?maybe you could help me out.thanks. scott. p.s.next time you are going to the satsop shoot me a e-mail i would like to discuss this with you in person
