We catch hatchery Coho at the Squaxin Island hatchery every year and pull in unclipped fish quite a bit. Since we are keeping them, it makes it a pain to have to throw them back since you know they are all hatchery fish. There is no river so they just come to the pins and wait to be netted or caught. The indians certainly keep everthing clipped or not, but I get in real trouble at the ramp if I have a non-clipped fish. This is the only problem I have with unclipped hatchery fish.
