I am well aware of why people like and dislike hatcheries. but would there be advantages to
gathering fish that were wild (to its home river)
and hatch its fry and let them go on the same river.
I cant help but think of all the work that went into saving the skagit river kings. (I have seen some of the biggest kings of my life in there) I was hoping some day they would open a season for them once again. Its a shame that the flood is going to endanger them once again. Would the fry still be wild or would they be hatchery.
