The WSR does not take into account that every watershed has different issues. The state calls all steelhead with intact fins a native. Thats not true . The Green River has a long running summer steelhead hatchery program and over the years there have been some natural hatched fish that are not native to this watershed. The problem is that some of late arriving natural spawned summer fish are trying to spawn with the early returning native winter fish . This could really screw up the ginetics of the native winter runs creating something the state , tribe and fishermen don't want a mutant steelhead run.But the summer fish will have to be released if there fins are intact even though this is bad for the watershed. So I guess in this one case something I've supported for years really could have a negative effect in the long run and not protect the native fish that I love so dearly.
