I agree with the previous statement by Bob. ON the Nooksack River in the 1980's the local TU club had a broodstocking program and the number of fish caught was around 1200 in 1985. Now the hatchery fish caught are less than 10% of that (not knowing the figures from last year which I am sure were higher). Chambers creek fish are inferior. We tried getting a broodstocking program back, but the bios said that the return times of the broodstocking program will interfere with the natives (later returning fish). The WDFW Steelhead Management Plan calls for broodstocking to only be approved on runs that are very low. Our problem on the Nooksack is very low compared to what?
