I think that you may want to refrase that statement
Quote:
With no wild fish, there are no long term succesful hatchery programs, or no hatchery programs at all. With no successful hatchery programs, there are no hatchery fish. With no hatchery fish, there is no fishing.
Oh really! If that was true, how do you explain the hatcheries on the Cowlitz? They been going at it for 40 years now, and they are one of the biggest hatchery in the state. The only thing that shows down production there is the lack of money from Tacoma. Those native were all gone many, many, years ago, and they still produce lots of hatchery fish for both the commercials and the sport fishermen. The Cowlitz hatchery can produce more fish then you can count, and all they need is the money to run those hatcheries.
