You seem transfixed with this notion that Tribal hatcheries don't clip their fish, and you have been shown the data, yet you persist with this agenda.
What part of mandated by the federal government don't you understand?


I'm not saying all tribes don't clip their fish.... But when you have an estimated 2,393,947 unclipped smolt released in 2006 via upriver hatcheries at a 1% survival ratio thats just short of 24,000 bullshiat wild fish returning... But heck that 24,000 looks good on paper. The bullshiat wild fish....

Tell me again, why don't they count wild salmon at bonneville dam as they do wild and misclipped steelhead?
