25) The WDFW shall minimize the number of hatchery adults remaining to
potentially spawn with wild fish through removal of hatchery fish at
sufficiently high harvest and/or trapping rates.


this is about as far as I could get before the lightbulb went off.

AS I posted once before, Billy Frank said to me "If it weren't for the hatcheries there would be no fish at all."

And several years ago, when I asked my high school football coach and fishing mentor why he had quit fishing, his reply.."I don't want to be known as the guy that caught the last salmon."
That statement is starting to make sense to me now.

just more babble, I guess, might be time to go in search of litlcleo confused
