What HAS been said over and over is that the resulting offspring do not return as adults in any significant numbers, and that's a problem because a viable wild parent has been removed from the pool by mingling with a hatchery fish.



This thread is not about hatchery spawners. He wants to promote his videos. Considering all the concern about wildsteelhead his other video just promotes targeting those wild fish. Multiply that by the guys who cant handle a fish properly and the guys who will poach the fish, video publishing is not helping the fish at all.


I almost went to bed a happy dude. The thread is about my video, my video is about hatchery spawners. I asked what peoples thoughts on hatchery spawners was, as that was the basis of the video. The discussion was moving along just fine, if you want to discuss the effects of Youtube and Wild Steelhead that is another topic we can check out.

I make videos of fishing, I like fishing, I fish for native fish at times, sometimes I post the fishing videos, I am not a saint, I am not the self proclaimed savior of steelhead, I have ideas like everyone else and if you really want to point out who is ruining steelheading I would blame Al Gore for inventing the internet.
