maybe you should volunteer to be a guest speaker at a cca meeting and explain to them how the system realy works ??, and if you want i can come with and hand out color crayons so they can take notes rofl


rofl Yes I'm laughing at you ---not with you,

You must be starting to believe your own propaganda.

Boater this is how the system works.

NOAA proposed and implemented integrating hatchery with wild in the CR by using their science. In the final draft there was concerns submitted during public input period that were answered similar to your questions you ask on here with ESA listed fish mixed with hatchery. . I suggest you look them up for your answers.

Obviously, NOAA could care less about your concerns because now we have mass amount of hatchery fish mixed with ESA listed wild.
NOAA science now dictates “use them or lose them” to keep funding for hatcheries while keeping hatchery fish off spawning beds.

WDFW already is testing selective commercial gear to reduce mortality rate = more fish off spawning beds.

So what is your proposal or plan of action to “use them or lose them”?
So far a handful of you are supporting cutting hatchery funding by just sitting there.

PS I would suggest if you have any problems with the system on ESA listed and hatchery fish to contact NOAA.They started it and now they are apparently attempting to end it.



let me ask you 3 questions,

1) do you think the wdfw does a good job predicting numbers of returning salmon ?

2) do you believe the wdfw numbers on how many esa listed fish are killed durring a gillnet season on the LCR ?

3) do you believe the wdfw can craft a season to remove the required amount of hatchery fish off the spawning grounds to meet the hsrg recommendations using the new selective commercial fishing gear ?
