How do you know that they are not in fact ad clipping their hatchery fish?
Federal mandates in 2003 required Tribal hatcheries to clip all their releases, except for fish designated for research and stream re propagation purposes.
Spring chinook brood stock years 2004 and 2005 show Tribal mark rates around 90%.
But you already knew that,why are you saying that they are not clipping their fish?
Any data to back that statement up? Not interested in any in boat observations.
