There is a sizable difference between mitigation smolt and fry plants for enhancement which are not in favor at the present. In the present scheme of things it is basically either HSRG standard hatchery practices or in the case of the nooche it is little hab work and do nothing but managing escapement. It can work but it takes a LONG LONG time to work in most streams and it assumes they get it right.

Bit of a leap of faith don't you think?
