Why not do brood stock programs? If you talk to a few certain forks guides they'll tell you that the Sol Duc wasn't worth a sh!t compared to what it became after the Snider program. I'm not claiming to know much about the Sol Duc or the feasibility of brood stock programs working out on our Puget sound streams. I'm just throwing out an example and asking "why not"?

I would 100% volunteer my free time, and gas money to catch and tether suitable adults for a program on the sky if it were to happen. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
