it's really not so much the deciding factor. it's the pie chart scenario. if WDFG was to stop ALL hatchery production cold turkey persay. the entire state would be in a uproar! (at least I guess it would) WDFG has chosen the "we'll just slowly chip and take from the sportsmen while jacking them on license fees and Columbia river tax fees. license buyers don't know $hit!) which by the way seems very accurate!

in the next 10 years this GB plan will ooze across the state like a terminal cancer. mark brewer's words. just sayen, knowmsayen?
