Did you not read OncyT' post, plenty of science in favor.....

Todd, the real question is do you think the powers to be will ever rid our rivers of Hatchery fish?.

If not why not use a hatchery fish that will help when mingling occurres instead of waste the wild that mingles with the out of basin stock. The fish could be taken from surplus, that would be destined for native harvest.

We would all like to see our rivers filled with wild fish, and no hatchery supplementation, but some understand that is a pipe dream, that both the Treaty Tribes and the Economic driven main stream will never let happen.
