ok, here's the deal I fish a southwestern river that dumps steelhead smolts into the river at a park. There is no hatchery that they return to. Alot of guys have been releasing darker hatchery fish lately. My questions are, first: how dark should a steelhead be before you should release it.(poor quality meat) Second question is, how in the hell can we keep the hatcheries from spawning with the wild if we are releasing hatcheries to spawn. ( I know some don't care but somebody out there has an answer. Thanks
