That's exactly it......... So called wild fish. Sure is funny how all of the wild fish we handled as well the group I fish with all caught cookie cutter wild fish. They were all similar 10-14lb just like the hatchery fish...................

Here's the brood years we just fished on 2004 and 05, so they are in fact ad clipping CR hatchery fish at a very high level.

Brood Year 2004 87.6% ad-clip
Brood Year 2005 88.2% ad-clip

I give up, these links just don't want to be posted, you'll have to take my word for it I guess.


I'm not insinuating that we have NO wild fish left, I'm just saying there's a lot less than people think...

Let me help you out a little with those links....

The majority of the 2010 adult returns for our spring/summer Chinook will be from brood year’s 2005 and 2006. Here is what the coded wire tag/ad-clip database RMIS reports...

Upriver CR Stock Spring Chinook

Brood Year 2005 = 87% ad-clip
Brood Year 2006 = 85% ad-clip
