Re: 2026 NOF by Tug 3 @ Today at 03:42 PM

The Green River did not have a pure strain of wild Chinook in it prior to ESA. Hatchery fish plants had been plentiful. I think the tribe planted too. There was a head-scratching meeting at WDF to wonder about how to define wild fish. It was decide

Salmo, Thanks for the thoughtful reply. There is much of what you said that I agree with. I think that too much of salmon management is governed by values and not science. The value side says that we must do everything to conserve the wild fish.

28 gage, are you saying the WDFW is doing a brood stock program for the green river fish (steelhead) ? If so YES ! Need more of that where it can be done. Works in Oregon and elsewhere.

In looking at the impacts of hatchery fish genetics on wild fish I believe there is a continuom from least culture to most. Simply collecting eggs, incubating on surface water, and releasing the fry should have the least impact. Next step up is shor

Re: 2026 NOF by 28 Gage @ Today at 11:14 AM

From observation and tribal hatchery operations here on the Green River, the wild spawned Chum and the hatchery plants seem to mingle and spawn quite nicely together, and the runs have grown and remain pretty strong. Although this winter the HH dam

Somewhere in Briton they have a sardine ( or some fish ) that was harvested for several hundred years then collapsed so restrictions to rebuild. Did not happen because you can drive any living thing to the brink and then stop but the damage is done i

Re: 2026 NOF by Salmo g. @ Today at 08:57 AM

Rivrguy, I think we pretty much agree. While development pressure in the Puget Sound region will continue to be relentless, I think it is possible to retain quite a bit of the remaining productive capacity of many basin river systems. I look at the

Tug, disagreement is fine when it comes to opinions, but do we disagree on facts? This reminds me of how complex civil legal cases are laid out. Two lists are made: Facts in Agreement, and Facts in Dispute. Then the parties bring evidence supporti

The tribes see a fish is a fish is a fish, except when wild fish can be used to constrain land use or NT fishing. WDFW doesn't, I believe, really know what to do because of the political pressure from above to satisfy the Tribes and go to appreciativ
