I could be wrong but isn't the Naselle hatchery on Willapa and arn't they closing that hatchery down? If they are not taking any broodstock then that could be why they are letting the netters have so many fish. This may also be the reason for so few (not that 17K is a small number) fish returning this year is that production was cut a few years back, just a thought?
Not sure what is going on in Grays Harbor??
