I have to agree with you as to why the WDFG or any other entity would not want a program that would help make our sound into a top fishery instead of the almost barren wasteland that it has become.One has only to look at Hood Canal to see how much trouble our waters are in now.
I also don't understand how anyone can tell the difference between the origin of a true native and a non-clipped second generation steelhead. I have caught lots of steelhead and don't know how to tell if it is not clipped which one it would be.
