The Elwha Chinook to the best of my information have not been clipped. They have either a CWT or they are otolith marked. They are not available to the recreational fishery in MA 6.

Release numbers have averaged close to 2 million zeros and 200,000 yearlings from the state Elwha rearing unit each year.

They still get 40#+ fish back each year. The genetics are there. One can only hope the 5-7 salt genes are still blended in somewhere.
