So shall we let the State "break" it so we know for sure?
The best prediction of the future is the past, and the State's past is not exactly a glowing example of "Boy, do we know what we're doing!"

Does it not seem more reasonable to take the brood stock program method elsewhere WITHOUT dismantling the existing one until adequate information exists to KNOW whether or not what exists now WORKS?

When THIS failed experiment crashes, and the Sol Duc becomes another "used to be"....WHO is going to step forward and take the blame? I can tell you......nofknbody, that's who. And the biggest losers of course will be the wild fish, whose health is entrusted to the State.

Scrapping the Snyder Project is premature, to say the least.
