Under a management agreement between the federal government, states and tribes, the non-tribal spring chinook fishery is managed to limit the impact on protected upriver wild fish to not more than 2 percent of the wild upriver run. The impact reflects wild fish mortality that results from being inadvertently caught and released.

so that means that the more wild fish you brag about releaseing the higher the supposed mortality rate and the less hatchery fish we can keep " wild fish . what wild fish I have never even hooked a wild fish." are you all catching this loop pole or not. Tom
