looks like they are doing that on the chehalis,

The tribe plans to use the hatchery to build up the native runs of Coho, Chinook, and Winter Steelhead for the future of the Chehalis Tribe’s commercial and recreational fishermen and associated cultural tradition

why not ?, if you look on page 124 of the following link the productivity rate of the upper river fish is less than 1 in almost all cases, this 15 percent cant be helping them.

Gents and Ladies,

You gotta read the link. http://www.prlog.org/10411958-local-fish...-northwest.html

A hatchery producing wild fish? I am informed enough to know that the terms hatchery and wild don't usually occur in the same sentence unless to slam the hatchery form. but, genetically, is the first gen proband close enough to the "native" to let nature sort things out? Not trolling, just asking.

Boater, can't get the link to work.

Try that one, it works fine for me.

Fish on...

P.S. It's a .pdf, so it takes a bit of time to load, depending on how fast your connection is.

Must be a google chrome thing, can't yet make it work.

Thanks, and

Yet another indian hatchery that will produce fish and release them as "non fin" clipped fish. What do ya know......more "wild" fish in the river......Oops...I mean more fish for them.

People are just whining because they hate change, fact is, eyeFISH is correct.

Holy smokes, a nine page CONVERSATION without a pissin match/name calling thread. After reading through all of these post it's apparent to me we are all after the same goal just differing about how to go about getting there.

I do have one question, why are the snake river dams singled out? Last time I counted there are 7 dams. Feel free to educate me.
