A quick search of the archives, or ten minutes on Google, will answer the question far better than me regurgitating what I've been telling folks for years...

No, they're not the same. Two hatchery winter runs spawning is like a rock spawing with a piece of cordwood...no adult recruitment. A hatchery fish spawning with a wild fish...well, you may as well catch the wild fish and bonk it, for all the good it will do to have it spawn with a hatchery fish.

Fish on...
