Salmosalar, My point to where they would help is that it is the same in system blood, So when breeding with in-system wild component, the blood remains the same. As to what we have now is skamania or chambers-out of basin stock mixing with in basin stock, this is where the damage is done. Hatchery fish are not going to be done away with, so broodstocking would be the best of the two evils. nd like I said I catch many spawned out clipped fish all the way to April as well as bright clipped fish until April. And 60 wild fish to be takin to make hatchery fish,would not even be noticable, those 60 fish would only return about there own numbers in the wild. But would inturn produce 90k plus clipped fish that would not damage the in system stock when they mix with wilds hitting the gravel. like our current system has.
