Salmo-G, I didn't assume they were idiots, it was a question not a statement.

I understand now why, but still don't see the 50/50 split part?
Did we as sports fishermen loose our share to the commercial fleet?
Why even waste the time to clip hatchery fish if we can't keep them?
Why should we support a hatchery program for Chinook on rivers that don't allow retention?
It's just real frustrating
