Slight hijack: Like Carcass said, there are no native stocks if a hatchery is present. Perhaps you could call them wild (hatch x native naturally spawned fish), but not native.

I always thought wdfw could select rivers that are past any practical hope for recovery. Raise and release smolt every month and let the hoards have 5 per day. Don't release in times where release/returns would conflict with wild runs in close proximity.

On the handful of "native" or wild rivers , fish by guide only by lottery permit, all catch and release, and try to save the rivers we can. would the tribes rather net overly-abundant hatchery rivers, and leave the regulated "wilds" alone? Why not? It's all about the money, right?

I just think if we keep treating all rivers the same, they'll all fail. I realize this crosses over to co-managers and other issues, but "if you keep doing the same thing, you should expect the same results."

Carcass, eyeFish, Smalma, interested to hear your interpretation or alternative on major scale refocus for the long haul.
