I agree with spawnout and cwugirl..

So apart from actually closing a hatchery what can we do to minimize the impact hatchery fish have on wild fish..
In my opinion there are two basic things that need to happen for balance to begin to take place.

1, all hatchery fish must be identifyable by a fin mark to increase the rate of harvest for hatchery fish. This is especially true on the Columbia and it's tribs.

2. hatchery plants need to be discontinued on all rivers where large hatchery fish cannot be physically removed from the river before spawning. Rivers without hatcheries or wiers that can trap all migrating fish should NOT ever be planted with hatchery steelhead.

These two things represent the bare minimum of what should be done.
