The science is clear wild fish are different from hatchery fish. counting them the same is ignorance from a scientific standpoint.

Also NOTHING is being done to save wild fish. We are spending millions on windowdressing and feel good projects and doing nothing meanigfull. I stand by every word i said. The truth hurts but it is no less the truth because of the pain it inflicts.

The fact is that many people on this board are exactly the way i describe. The oppose WSR, they oppose meanigful change at hatcheries, they oppose habitat protection. How can anyone taking thoes positions be anything but anti wild fish???? if pointing out the truth makes me an unbearable jerk then so be it. I'd rather be right than popular.
I have tried over the last few years to have meanigful dialog with many people on this board and offered up all kinds of hypothetical compromises and they want none of it. what that tells me is that they wanna be able to kill as many fish as often as they want in every stream they want. If that were not the case they would have entered a meanigful conversation long ago.
I challenge any of them ( and they know who they are) to come up with anything in the way of compromise on either wild harvest or hatchery plants or both.
