Salmo, Where in my post did you read that I wanted them to keep wasting money on a loosing program? I simply stated that I have caught a few nice fish there and they were closing the hatchery to steelhead. The river was listed in a magazine in the mid seventies as a river that could produce a 30 lb fish for an angler and I have seen a 26 lber this year. Anyway, that is all I stated. Have a nice day.
