G-Man,
If said river was open for the retention of Hatchery Chinook, then A) there would be more snaggers up there and a snagger does not know the difference between a hatchery fish and un-clipped fish under water anyway. B) Even a great angler, over the course of a season, will kill a few wild Kings, in the process of trying to catch hatchery fish. If you've seen a cracker try to bring in a king look at it for 5 minutes while it flops on the rocky bar, just to realize that it has an adipose and then kick it back in the river, you could imagine what kind of chance it has to survive.
If we had all honest and educated anglers, we would have year round seasons and just release wild fish all the time. Imagine Sekiu open all summer and you would just have to release wild Kings and Ho's.
Any way I'll wake up from my wet dream know.
