If I could keep fish, clipped or not, and I was spending money to place those fish n the first place, I would not clip them because of added financial expense with no additional financial return.

The only thing that would change me is the prospect of a different financial cost/benefit ratio, either financial or political.

In other words, I don't think things will change except more unmarked fish to fewer marked fish. Who wants sporties to catch hatchery fish that otherwise return upriver to tribal nets? Just leave them unmarked. Makes good business sense.
