As many have said before me we have plenty of hatchery fish for taking home. By now we should have learned that our wild fish are to vaulable for harvest. I think the wild fish sould be managed just as our national parks,,, our national parks are there to ensure we still have wilderness areas, should we not ensure we have wild salmon in the years to come or are they expendable.

We have made the mistake in the past on trying to predict excess fish for harvest. That is where we have made our mistake. In nature excess is insurance. There is excess because of unforseably ocean conditions, floods, drouts, volcanic eruptions and so on. Right now we are killing all the excess so our wild runs are rideing a very fine line with no excess for error.

Our greed has screwed things up and by now we should have enough sense to set things strait. But as long as people want to kill every excess fish that they can the wild fish dont have a chance.
