How about we all get together and devote a creek or two in the lower columbia to designate hatcheries to. They will be designed to raise Spring Chinook. There will be no sportsmen contact with these creeks even in the estuary.

Then all the springers the creeks raise can be netted or if need be the netters can wait until the fish come to the hatchery which most all hatchery fish do in a hurry and they can harvest fresh chrome spring chinook all they want..... They can keep the nets out of the main columbia and call it a selective fishery. They can selectively pick the fish out of the hatchery bins and selectively pick the age, size, sex, etc... Plus they can leave surplus for spawning for the upcoming years...

Hows that for an idea??
