Superfly, the resurgence of the Yakima began long before that hatchery ever began putting springers out. This is the first year of adult returns to the hatchery program, but last year the run was huge. That's all based on natural spawning. These federal hatcheries -- Icicle, Carson, etc. -- went long years without major springer returns before their current success began some six or seven years ago. I'd love to say the feds are great at raising fish, but I'd bet a lot of it is due to the vagaries of the marine forage base in different areas of the ocean where these fish go.
