RA3 - Would not smolts, which migrate rapidly towards the salt, have less interaction with the wild juveniles than hatchery fingerlings which develop and grow in the rivers before migrating?

It is my understanding that the purpose of this proposed facility is to imprint juvenile fish to return to a collection station downriver from the majority of steelhead spawning habitat in order to minimize possible adult interactivity with wild steelhead.

You have mentioned the Wildcat Steelhead Club as an example of "hostile to wild steelhead" organizations on several occasions.

Will you tell us more about who this organization is and in what ways they are a detriment towards wild fish?

Thanks - Plunker
