From what I understand from one of the wdfw emails I received, a brood stock program for the skagit is set to be researched during the 12 year hault on smolt releases. Are they not planning to research these programs on our other Puget sound streams?

Also, here's a thought...why not boost the Cowlitz back up to being the hatchery juggernaut it once was back in the day and guarantee way less pressure on our streams. Give the people a grocery river like we once had. let's face it...it's a far cry from what it was.

I won't even waste my time and money to go sit in a boat parade on the coast in the next few years.
