You may have liked what Culp said about fisheries and hatcheries, but the take home message I heard in that regard is that he is absolutely clueless on the subject. I heard Culp say that he wanted hatcheries at 100% production. I take that to mean that he wants recent year cuts in hatchery production restored. That fails to consider that many of the hatchery production cuts are the result of complying with ESA requirements. Culp also wants to reduce the state budget. That being the case, where would the money come from to restore hatcheries to 100% production? Can't come from the General Fund if he intends to reduce state spending. And sport fishermen don't want to pay more for fishing licenses when WDFW is actively reducing recreational fishing opportunity. And lastly, restoring hatchery production, within ESA limits, would result in very little increase in the overall sport harvest. Neither Culp nor Inslee seem aware that salmon and steelhead populations are in the toilet due to poor ocean survival rates, a factor over which we have zero control.
