Just read the WDFW forecast for fish numbers returning this fall. Bad news for most of us, with a couple of bright spots. When reading about coho returns for the lower Columbia, I thought it was kind of interesting that they mentioned that this is the first year all the hatchery coho have clipped adipose fins(returning fish). So of course every fish without a clipped fin is now considered 'wild', even though hatcheries have been pumping out coho for 70+ years. What in the hell is 'wild' anymore??? They may have all their fins attached, but you can't tell me very many of these coho are actually 'wild'. Just thought I'd stir it up a little....
