Tom ... A friendy coax from me to perhaps re-think your post. Many of us have spawned fish and worked around a hatchery. Many of the folks involved in the WSC have extensive backgrounds in fisheries ...

There is lots of white paper out there to prove beyond a doubt that there are significant diffrences between hatchery fish and wild fish, especially in the case of Chambers Creek stock.

25,000 steelhead harvested in the Hoh??

I think the WSC might be happy to send along some research your way!
