Wow, that article sure brings back some memories. Thanks for sharing it.

I spent some time as a youth volunteering at Barnaby, cleaning raceways etc. About that time, talk of a new upgraded facility at Grandy Creek started making scuttlebutt. How did that turn out?

I have mixed feelings on Snider Creek but when it's all said and done, I guess I'm glad that WDFW is implementing no hatchery supplementation in the Duc as a reference stream or wild gene bank or whatever they wind up calling it.

I do like the concept of using hook and line to capture wild broodstock and release them for harvest. Those that aren't harvested can still spawn without the risks associated with out of basin fish.
