Did this bio really think that if all (100%) of the hatchery fish were clipped that this would lead to 0% escapement? That because they are all clipped that they would all bite and get caught?

I think thats a ridiculous reason to not clip them all.

Well as of last Thursday the Kalama hatchery has no report on the WDFW escapement report for springers. Is this because of the hatchery fish being clipped?

Stever, not bashing you but I think that idea from this Bio on the Kalama is idiotic thinking.
