What Salmo said!

Actually, I was going to mirror his comments but without writing a thesis (sorry Salmo!...just kidding, you gave a good account.)

One issue I find interesting is that there has been no mention of the ozone treatment facility at the trout hatchery. Remember when that went in not so long ago? It was designed to treat incoming river water and more or less sterilize it from aquatic parasites and bacteria thus giving the hatchery smolts more of a fighting chance.

I was under the impression that it was having some success. They spent millions on it and did extensive testing beforehand to insure the money would be well spent.

Apparently, they should have done some more testing eh?
