Jgrizzle: I think it is more that there is a healthy run and removing hatchery Chinook will allow native "healthy" stocks to reproduce without conpetition. This also gives a complete picture in the way that there will be no doubt if the Chinook is wild or hatchery in the counts. Hopeful account of what I believe might be the reason for this beyond budget cuts. True or not, only time will tell but I don't plan on leaving this to chance.
