What was even more staggering was the number that Bill gave that covered 25 years or so of hatchery production.

Dont remember the exact number but I believe there is over a billion dollar disparity between money spent on hatchery production and money spent on habitat restoration.

Just imagine how much better shape our wild salmoninds would be in, if that disparity was not so damn large...

...and for those that regularly attend the WSC meetings, you know what comment I get in every meeting when the WDFW is brought up "...its because they are b*stards!"
