One of teal disconnects in WDFW is that they have to sell licenses to survive. This also seems to be lost on WFC. At the same time, they have to provide for wild fish.

Time is rapidly running out for WDFW to make conscious triage decisions. Some streams/watersheds should be purely wild for all fish. And, the land and water should then receive the protection necessary to maintain the stocks. Other watersheds would be there for people to live in, consumptively fish in, and so on. Large hatchery operations because the land and water are serving multiple purposes.

But, I have high confidence that we won't go there. We will try to do everything everywhere and end up with nothing anywhere.
