It really doesn't seem all that confusing.

A Snider fish is a hatchery fish with wild parent. While they may be better bananas, they are still not wild.

If a river is to be managed in the best interest of wild fish, killing wild fish to make hatchery fish is obviously more harmful than leaving them the [Bleeeeep!] alone to let them do what they have been doing for thousands of years without our "help."

It is a simple question of whether we will do what is truly best for the wild fish, or if we will choose an alternative that factors in other interests.

While I am sad to see recreational fishing opportunities continue to shrink, these types of seemingly "drastic" actions that put conservation above recreation are needed if wild fish are to be saved.
