Remember, that broodstock programs can potentially be pandora's box for when it come to the wild fish. With the introduction of broodstock programs, i.e Satsop/Wynooche, etc. word on the street is the tribes will pressure to put the nets in get their 50% of the harvestable run later in the season at the expense of wild fish returning. A good number of anglers seem to believe that wild broodstocks programs are just great. What I want to know is the major goals of these programs, to create more hatchery fish or to aid in the recovery of a wild run? If it's the latter how come we think we can do it better than the fish? If it's just to create hatchery fish don't we have enough hatchery programs as it is? It's funny how there are never any stated goals or objectives when it comes to these programs, why is that?
