Twig ... I don't believe I ever said wild fish populations are healthy and that we are not in need of reforms in all areas of concern including hatcheries. I said this year is one of the best I can remember in terms of FISHING.
Washington Trout does not discuss FISHING...Save the wild salmon for the sake of saving them which is ok but don't try to sell me on the idea that WT is concerned about fishing. They are not and I am. I am a sportsfishing advocate all day long. It has nothing simplistic, as Rob says, to do with "bonking".

Geoduck you are pretty set that habitat is the only problem...fix that and there you go! All fixed. Not so. The problem is not simplistic and the solution isn't either.

Rob: As far as answering your questions goes, what good would any answer do? You are a blind supporter of WT and all the hogwash they send out. Just because you try to put a different saddle on the old nag doesn't mean you've got a better horse. I don't agree with anything you say so get over it and move on.
