Better look at that quote more closely and not read anything into it. Which you are all doing.

Now i am not saying that WT wants hatcheries to operate as they have been for decades ( very little has changed).. But that quote does not say what you are saying it does. It is not saying there is no benefit for providing fish for harvest. It is saying that the HGMP's are so vague that they do not even suggest any benefit..
Any way you slice it these HGMP's are extremely bad and totally imcomplete. They are vague and describe nothing that WDFW is willing to do to help puget sounds endangered wild chinook!!!

Washington Trout would be 100% satisfied if WDFW could run their hatcheries without posing a threat to the survival of wild chinook..
WT would be off the back of WDFW if they wouod just do theri jobs and come up with legit plans to do what they are obligated by law to do!!!
