I once suggested, and it was of course shot down, that all the Mitchell Act hatcheries downstream of the Cowlitz be closed. Their funding, and production, would be moved to the Cowlitz. Make that into a hatchery driven zoo. Restore wild salmon in all the lower Columbia tribs.

It would, at least in the short term, mess up Buoy Zooey, but the lower Cowlitz would be big enough to host a lot of boats.
