A few months ago I made a negative comment, which was criticized, about the Natives being allowed to release hatchery steelhead. While searching for a site that has salmon escapement data I found a very interesting 1989 magazine article (home.wwanglers.com/journal/bmhatchery.htm) on one way hatchery steelhead have an adverse affect upon native steelhead. It sounds to me that the State should only "enhance" a few meat holes, and it would better if the Natives were forced out of the hatchery steelhead business (I doubt that steelhead hatcheries are part of their cultural heritage).
