i understand what you are saying Todd, but, there isnt "that many" wild fish per year that are stuck in the tubes.. what i think is going to happen, with the absence of the Snyder fish, is that more people will be killing wild fish, because they took the trip and time and money to go all the way there, and didnt get to bring anything home, because there werent any hatchery fish... takin it away, wont decrease fishing pressure, its been going up and up and up for years... so that will increase pressure on wild fish, because not everyone is like the few that fish just to fish, they want to kill everything they catch... plus, without them around, how many more wild fish will be poached by the locals out there? that is a problem as well imo... only time will tell if it was a good idea or not... but during that time, the Indians will still continue netting the hell out of the Yute, and raping whats left, then, blame it on sportsfisherman, just like always..
