There is hope in finding the reasons to our salmon/steelhead declines. For those of you one sided anti hatchery people. It is okay to say the hatcheries are the cause for the decline. When you get done drinking your koolaid and vodka, please rejoin the discusion. Keep in mind that chinook and steelhead runs are in a decline arrcoss the board and that not all of these fish come from a hatchery. Most certainly not the over abundance of wild coho we have had for the last two years. Take off the hatchery hat and lets find our why we have had these awesome coho returns. Is it an improved habitat in all areas accross the NW region? Maybe it could be the Ocean.
