Very well put, Smalma. Though I love to bring hatchery fish home from time to time, when I daydream of time on the river, I'm dreaming of wild rivers with wild fish in them. Thankfully, there are still some places we can go to experience both forms of fishing. I think some individuals need to give the fish more credit for their ability to survive in the modern world so long as we don't further damage their habitat. The southern Oregon coast, for example, is seeing record numbers of wild steelhead smolts right now.
