Mike K,
I agree with you whole heartedly. The Ringold Hatchery is a joke. With it's perfect location at the beginning of the Reach it should be a world class Hatchery like Dworshack Hatchery on the Clearwater and many others, instead it's a couple of holding ponds dug in the dirt with a pole building for it's headquarters. The changing over to Wells fish is criminal. The Skamania strain was better suited to a put and take fishery as it spawned at a different time than native stocks so cross breeding was at a minimum. The Ringold Hatchery is the most mis-managed Hatchery around.Lester
