Consider that you will get a wide variety of opinions on what species and runs to stock in a river depending on whether you are a river fisher, an ocean fisher, steelhead fisher, Chinook fisher, coho fisher or a mix of all of these. An angler that fishes Westport that relies on tules for catch success and season length but doesnt fish the Cowlitz might have a different take on the importance of this production vs a steelhead fly guy. There are wide variety of interests and beneficiaries from hatchery production with each having a target and others only having an indirect or little benefit. Allocating limited hatchery production dollars and rearing space is rarely a no-brainer decision where everyone is satified.
