Tom ... Chambers Creek IS just one stream, BUT the stock they took from there accounts for the vast majority of winter-run plants across the west side.

We'll throw out in-depth data. How 'bout some basic observations:

1) They return in a timeframe of about one month vs. wild counterparts that return over many months.

2) They're about half the size of their wild counterparts across the board.

3) They can't / don't spawn worth a hoot on their own (not that we want them to anyhow).

Please Tom, let us know why this is??

PS ... as Jerry mentioned, this is not simply anti-hatchery fish, this day in age, I believe they do have their place, but hatchery practices need to be changed in many locations!
