I started this dialogue about Washinton Trout to see what others think , not to pretend to be the world's foremost expert on the subject. Some of the people posting here express their opinions as if they are chiseled into the law of the land and anyone who doesn't agree with their posting is a pitiful moron. WOW.

I am aware that Washington Trout has been an ally in the past. The simple truth is that if they get their way there would be no fishing in Puget Sound at all. For two reasons. Their initial lawsuit that is now settled got them one of their goals which is to get the "ZERO FISHING" option on the table in the North of Falcon process. Secondly if all the hatcheries were to close the fishing as we know it would close too. There are simply not enough "wild" fish to support fishing at all. And forget the catch and release argument. WOW Trout and Steelhead come from the hatcheries too. Let's hear some substantiates facts for a change boys.
