As you mentioned they plant thoes 500,000 as fingerlings and will be planting them as smolts with this new project. Smolts have a much better survival rate That means more interaction with wild fish. Wild fish that are in serious trouble as I am sure you are aware..

Superfly... What I am opposed to is ideas that are bad for wild fish... I am not opposed to bait fishing or any other type of gear fishing and i have never said or elluded to anything of the kind. Just yesterday I floated the north fork Lewis and hooked 3 all on gear (spinners and spoons).
This is not about methods or any organization . It's about keeping WDFW and the Wild cat steelhead club ( who proposed the idea) from killing off the wild fish in the Skagit.
