I will throw my vote into the fray. My vote is for hatcheries, the Indians, and the federal government. Without these last two groups we would be screwed in many regions of Washington ( the Columbia River comes foremost to mind). The pundits in Washington DC think it is cool to see Indians fish and so they send money. The Indians take this money and turn it into fish, via hatcheries, and we get what is left over. Better than nothing. The fishing pressure on the rivers is too strong to be supported via natural production. It needs to be supplemented via hatcheries. The state appears to be getting out of the business of fish making, and so we are left with the federal government and their hatcheries.
