The only wild chum run in Hood Canal is the summer run, these winter fish were imported from Puget Sound (Kennedy Creek I think) and released from Hoodsport to start an expoitable fishery after the summer run crashed from overfishing and habitat damage. Winter chum have adapted and are now spawning in all Hood Canal tribs in numbers much greater than summers, and in my opinion are causing further damage to the summer run by digging up their eggs. So yes, kill them all in good conscience

On another sorry note, the anoxic conditions in Hood Canal that have killed off much of the bottomfish and other benthic biota, including shimp and likely crab, are really going to be exacerbated by the inevitable dumping of egg-stripped carcasses by our beloved native freinds. There is already way too many nutrients in the Canal for the poor circulation conditions to process, and adding any more would be criminal. Betcha they will, though, thats how they are
