Grandpa

Would you please list for me the reforms that have occurred at hatcheries that benefot wild salmon in a meaningful way?

Myself i don't know of any..

As for the tribe here on the Columbia all they care about in my estimation is creating fish for harvest more specifically for tribal harvest. Thats why they are really opposed to mass marking of hatchery fish.. More fish for them less for sporties.. They say it's about honoring the fish by not Mutilating them but thats just bogus.

The Yakima nation is poised to destroy my favorite river by pumping it full of hatchery fish that don't belong there.. but the tribes are the ones with the money so WDFW is more than happy to let the tribes have at it.

The tribes do not care about salmon, i am sure just like WDFW there are biologists who care deeply but as a political entity the tribes view fish as money for furthering growth of the tribe. They are in my estimation quickly becoming an enemy of the resource.

Ps. Grandpa i want you to know my question above is a serious one. I do not know of any hatchery reforms that have been implimented. do you?
