I agree, Hatches are inferior to Nates and were put in the rivers to be caught and eaten. But where did the Hatches come from? In most systems like the Sack, the Nates show up 2,3,4 months after the Hatches to spawn. That being the case, what if the Hatches spawn, {easy now, don't reach for the nitro-glisterin pills yet}, their fry miss the floods, the silt flows, dodge the Dollies and the Mergansers. They outswim Andre' the Seal, Free Willy, all those LOVELY nets and by some "Freak of Nature" they show up, back in the river with "THAT" little fin below their dorsal. Will this fish still be inferior after all it's been through? Will they still roll over and pee on themselves after they bite that Sand Shrimp that's so far from the ocean? Could this be a Native? If not, how many spawn cycles would it take to become a true Native again?
