I do not know the whole story about the Haskell Slough resoration and the controversy that it involves.
But I might be able to shed light on why Washington Trout would not support the project.
Washington Trout is a heute teute group of flyfishermen who belieave in NATIVE trout and salmon...many people within this group are very anti-hatchery.
They put NATIVE fish first, fishermen second...which could actually be a good thing.
If Washington Trout sees a project for the fisherman to catch more fish then they might not support, also if a project is too artificial they might not support.
They put some tremendous effort forth and put fish first and can be labeled extremists by some. It could be what our fish need though.
