[QUOTE/] These rivers, which all have hatcheries, are closed.
What about this reality is so difficult to understand?[/QUOTE]
Just stop clipping the hatchery fish and everything will be
restored to normal :rolleyes:      Look, I too would love to
believe we could click our wading boots and make everything
right that has been thrashed by a cadre of reasons I (and
others) have already mentioned. This may sound really selfish,
but I like to fish; for trout, steelhead, and salmon. And, to be
frank, it soon becomes a boring activity w/o some reasonable
level of fish population. If we end hatcheries, we will for all
practical argument end the reasonable opportunity to catch the
quarry we seek; at least
