Doc, You know that I agree with you about taking hatchery fish out of the gene pool however, by definition a kelt is a steelhead that has already spawned so where is pulling that fish out of the gene pool going to help. I would personally love to see some of these spawner hen hatchery fish come back in a few years for a second trip. Downstreamers are not going to effect the gene pool....they already did that!!! Now, dark boots that haven't spawned and have no table value should get the wood shampoo. What are your thoughts???
