From what I've been told is that the Wallace hatchery is supposed to be getting a huge surplus of Kings.Somewhere between 4000 to 6000.The reason I was told that we can't fish for them is that only something like 38% of the returning run are fin clipped.This number is not high enough for the fisherman to distinguish hatchery fish verses wild,and consequently would consist of too high of a hooking mortality rate on wild fish.

What are these fish for? We do not get to intercept them in the salt,we dont get to fish for them in the river! Why is this hatchery even running if these fish are returning for nothing better than to be used as cat food!

The money spent on these fish could be used for raising steelhead.My .02
