duke, the south fork clearwater doesn't have a hatchery. the fish realeased in that system come from the dworshack hatchery on the north fork clearwater. if the fish don't have a hatchery to go back to won't they try to naturally spawn. it seems to me they're are plenty of hatchery bred spawners in the south fork already. i wish i would have seen the article you spoke of. it makes no sense letting more hatchery fish spawn with wild stock than already are. i've landed only one wild fish from the south fork and it was a truely beautiful fish. i would hate to see these treasures dilluted even more.
