Im not saying this will fix the wild run but only give us more healthy larger hatchery fish. The Bogachiel hatchery only uses 77 hens and 77 bucks to get an estimated 300,000 smolt wich is a number that accounts for mortality. And if some of theese fish spawned naturally it would only inhance the native run. A 154 wild fish would not make much of an impact on the wild run. Im a police Officer on the Quileute reservation and see the nets take more wild fish than this on a daily basis. This october after the big rain we had they took 37,000lbs of coho and chinook in one day. Tell me if that doesnt make you sick.

Its not easy seeing theese things when your a catch and release kind of guy.
