"Most of the wild steelhead in the Nooksack River originate from a hatchery run by the private organization Washington Trout on the river's middle fork. "

I dont think that Washington Trout would be associated with a hatchery operation.. :p the reporter was off base. Trout Unlimited has had a imprint pond of the river for years, and has help build back the run, its a crime that some people just dont get it...
I hope they get there justice..
It sucks when TU and others do all that work to restore fish and then Joe Blow decides to steal what we are all working so hard to save.
