For those that believe "so what???, they are just hatchery fish"...

steelheadslayer brought up a good point...at a time when we are seeing the first budget shortfalls due to our poor economy and inturn are hearing of more and more discussions about serious across the board budget cuts, who knows when (not if) the hatcheries will be hit.

We have seen it before and have dodged several bullets (Does Reiter or Fortson ring a bell??) in the past...and are going to see the beaucratic AXE very very soon.

Who even knows if our terminal fisheries will be able to sustain additional harvest???
