The Umpqua has a hatchery, and has 50K wild fish returning this year, and has met maximum carrying capacity for 30 years. It has the same habitat issues our streams face, but what it does not have are Tribes that insist on managing for minimum escapement, until you get the non selective fishing practices out of our waters and change the mind set from minimum to maximum, you will have no more then you have now. It' s not Hatcheries, it's the Greedy mindset of minimum Escapement, what say you DH

P.S we can not do better unless all parties are on board.
