Some people might say that hatchery fish don't fight as well as native/wild fish, but there is a sure fire cure for that. Just grow old and even a 9 lb hatchery fish will kick your butt.


dont forget hatchery fish can introduce disease and add competition for eating food with the native smolt.

but this is a touchy subject, a lot of opinion vs opinion

but despite the facts on how they can hurt the native fish, most everyone would agree they prefer to have some hatchery fish options then none at all.
