Bob r I have a life and don't visit this site very often. I responded to your PM to me telling me not to insult people and I pointed out that you are a hypocrite. Apparently you had a hard time with that. Feel free to post the PMs.
Carcass, the track record of a few of the tribal hatcheries speak for themselves with regards to salmon and steelhead. Those trout that you speak of are less relevant and cannot be applied as well to salmon and steelhead.
Inbreeding is a good point and a definite concern. I believe that it could be minimized by working towards more genetic testing and mating across year classes. Evaluating scale samples could also help with this.
Even if they did 80 to 85 percent of mating in this fashion it should move the needle towards some natural selection instead of the reverse selection with the random mating that we have now.
Not sure I understand your comment about the successful hatcheries spawning and releasing a large number of juveniles? Are you talking about spawning a large number of jacks? If so, could you provide a few examples?
Planting more it's not really defined here. I would say that each river should be planted up to the carrying capacity of each specific River.
