Thanks Twig some people cannot see past their doubled over rod to whats really going on..

I am very happy that people are finding good fishing but an excess of hatchery fish does not a recovery make. There has been no noticible increase in wild salmon and steelhead anywhere in the Columbia river system

Oops thats not true Lower Columbia Chum salmon are on a dramatic increase coming back from nothing to tens of thousands of fish without any intervention by man..
