You last 2 responders are exactly what I am talking about. You have bought in to the theory that the wild fish have made a miraculus recovery. You just don't get it. In the Ocean and in the river we are releasing thousands of nonclipped fish which are counted as wild fish. The greater percentage of scale samples read will show you that these are not wild fish. You have been well and truly duped. Allowing the take of non clipped fish in a stream where hatchery fish are placed makes no sense and totally skews all past data. I think it odd to consider that all of the sudden WDF&W is being run by the bio's and not the legislature. If you last 2 would send me your phone #'s I would like to talk to you in person at my expense. I need to get a better understanding of your perception of what is going on and why. Your logic makes no sense to me .
