Plunker,

I noticed that also. Haven't heard of any wild broodstock hatchery programs on the 'sack. Have to check with Smalma. Either way, the wild 'sack steelhead aren't dependent on any hatchery programs.

In any event, I don't take newspaper articles too seriously. My observation is that over half of the articles on topics that I'm well informed of have one or more significant errors. News writers aren't experts on topics they write about - at least fisheries issues. They try to get it right, but they don't.

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
