Jim,
I was just thinking these guys might see you as a source to get their finger on the pulse of the sportfishermans opinion. Since I haven't heard much from you on the issues I was wondering what angle they would come away with. I'm not worried any more. Thanks for the E-mail.

Salmo G
Since the salmon hatcherys were mainly built to mitigate damage done by dams,agriculture ect., I see the cost of these $40 fish as a subsidy for these dam related industries, not the sport and commercial fisheries. If these salmon were reproducing in a natural river,they would cost $0. Another thing related to this that I am troubled about is the cutbacks and phasing out hatcherys. I know they have real problems producing fish, but what will take there place? We traded wild salmon runs for dams and hatcheries and now the hatcheries are going away but the dams shure aren't. It is getting hard for me to see where this salmon recovery mess is going. Got any glasses?
