grandpa first of all you don't know what your talking about.

Washington Trout is very much a fishermans organization. Started by fishermen, run by fishermen. Hatcheries weather you like it or not have negative impacts on wild runs. That fact is extremely well documented. The Puget Sound hatcheries in question under this lawsuit have been needing to come into compliance with ESA for years. WDFW has absolutely failed to even come up with a plan for such compliance they are over a year late for having developed such a plan. Washington trout has tried working with the department through all other channels to get them to address the issues regarding puget sound's ESA listed chinook salmon. The department absolutely refuses to do what they are required by law to have done. Not only does WT have the right to sue the department they are legally and morally right to do so it is the right thing to do. no matter how much you dislike it.
To care about fishing and ro be a responsible angler you MUST first care about the fish. If not you are just a user plain and simple. Washington Trout understands that as anglers it is their responsibility to fight for thoes fish that would otherwise go extinct (as Puget Sound Chinook are now doing). If you had not noticed that is what an ESA listing means.. It means they are going extinct! Frankly i could care less about the non native runs that you are referring to just like i don't care about the walleye in the Columbia. There is NO difference. if shutting down thoes hatcheries is what is required to keep a native species from going extinct I am absolutely all for that. However that is NOT what WT wants!!! They want the hatcheries to be operated in a manner that complies with ESA.. They want WDFW to stop breaking the law! and stop killing listed species.. I don;t see how anyone who cares about the future of the sport would have a problem with that.
