I enjoy fishing for blackmouth in the winter but the fish are year-round residents in the local waters. Question: Is the DFW blackmouth program hurting the native and hatchery runs? Blackmouth salmon in Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca number in the millions and are very carnivorous. They seem willing to attack anything that moves that may be edible. Are these planter fish eating the precious output from our rivers and hatcheries as they attempt to make their way to the open sea as juveniles? Have you long timers on this board discussed this or does anybody know if any studies have been done in this regard? Could this be as serious an impact on the runs as dams, nets and habitat or am I jumping to delusions?
