Have to agree with Cowlitz here too. We all know how the process works, and just imagine how many educated idiots would be out of work if they were to "imprint" the river on the smolts so they would return to spawn in that part of the river rather than returning to the hatchery to be bonk-spawned...... If the fish were successful at spawning naturally (which I believe they would after a couple of generations), our resident biologists would have to figure out what else to do to justify their salaries...... Oh my God, pity the thought of that!!!
