Thanks for the info, Preston. What, in your opinion, would be the possibility of getting answers to a few questions: What is the predicted fate of the Whitehorse facility, and of the hatchery program on the Stilly in general? Last summer made me think some entities would just as soon see the river dry up and blow away. Will the smolt plants continue to decline? Or is there a chance strong returns will mean strong plants? Will budget cuts eventually claim the Whithorse scalp? Given meagre returns and lax enforcement, what is the future of the Stilly fishery?

Are these questions with answers, or am I barking up the wrong fork?
