SG,

I agree that hatchery fish have been surely lacking but that just magnifies how precarious the vaunted "wild" fish can be, without hatchery numbers to take the impact of fishing, "wild" fish will suffer.

Over 800,000 fishing licenses are sold in WA and some of those people want to take a hatchery steelhead home, lacking that some will resort to poaching. The WDFW has by its own policy and history has provided these hatchery fish for consumption, eliminating those fish without any input from the paying public was a huge mistake.

Has anyone taken into account how the commies or the Tribes are going to impact these dwindling stocks? They did not agree to this nor will go willingly along without some sort of mitigation.
