Preston, I've been beating a drum on this. The first thing we had to do was keep Reiter from dying because most if not all summer plants come from Reiter. Now we need to make sure other systems in the PS area get summer plants and not just the Sky. It's especially difficult for the NF Stilly because if you don't fly fish for steelies there's no concern about. And then there's the elitist group of flyfisherman who view all hatchery fish as evil, but they can't see the forest for the trees on the Stilly. The Big News is WITHOUT THE HATCHERY PLANTS ON THE NF THERE WON'T BE A OPPORTUNTY FOR SUMMER STEELHEAD IN YOUR FLY ONLY WATER! Without the summer plants they will not let us fish the NF because all that would be fished on is depressed wild stocks. Ask Kramer how many hatchery stock mingle with the wild stock on NF and I bet he will tell you zilch. Any way enough ranting. It might be a good idea to put your above post on the virtual fly shop pacific NW BB. Maybe some of the fly fishers will be able to see the forest for the trees.
