Double haul I agree it's all about balance but it seems that no one wants any balansing to hurt their fishing in the short term. So balance is never attempted.. We are still so far slanted towards hatchery production that any talk of balance means planting fewer fish in fewer locations anything else wouldn't be balance at all but business as usual.

Can anyone name a few steelhead rivers where hatchery fish are not planted??? I know of ONE in the entire state.
balance means fewer hatchery fish in fewer locations any way you slice it. I volenteer my home rivers hatcheries fore closing. Thoes hatcheries being the Skamania trout hatchery and the Washougal Salmon hatchery..
