Wasn't the whole wild broodstock idea abandoned in the middle of the last century because the wild offspring didn't do well in a hatchery and the smaller fry releases were unsuccessful? Weren't the Chambers, Skamania, Big Creek stocks then bred to do well in a hatchery such that larger numbers could be planted at larger sizes so that more fish would return as adults? And aren't we now reducing the Chambers/Skamania/Big Creek plants because of interaction with wild fish. And aren't we now adding more wild broodstock to the hatchery programs because we've had to reduce the Chambers-type stocks?

Aaaaaagggghhhh!!!!!!! I'm getting dizzy!!!!!!!!
