Thumper I don't care how it's done but if we are to protect the wild fish in the East Lewis river we have to eliminate hatchery fish before they spawn. I beieve terminating the hatchery plants is the best way to do that. Whats wrong with setting ONE river aside?? One river out of the whole state! but since that is never going to happen. my next suggestion would be to put a fish trap just above the lweisville boat ramp and only passing the wild fish above that. I don't know how else to do it..

To the poster above ( can't remember who it was)
about the closures to protect wild fish.. Thats exactly my point. thank you.
