I sure hope they're not buying eggs, but that's probably a bit naive to believe...outplanting of non-local strains makes any hatchery activity even worse (i.e., Chambers Creek winter runs and Skamania summer runs, Green River chinook in the Skykomish, etc.)

At least most hatchery programs need very few fish relative to the amount that return, so even intensely successful net or sport fisheries don't often cut into the necessary supply.

"Ignorant in Oly"? I think not.

Fish on...
