It is clear to me that WDF&W is planting non clipped fish around the state to avoid ESA listings. " Martha look at all those wild fish "
Sports are buying into this crapola because they think they will get to harvest more fish in the future. You are paying for those fish and they are hatchery fish. I think if your planning on harvesting non clipped fish in the future you are new to NW fisheries issues. YOU should demand that all hatchery fish are clipped. They are your's. YOU are paying for them and not getting to keep them. Broodstock programs will be the end of your fishing if they are not clipped.
