Never said there wasn't any marked hatchery fish in the ocean or river just the mark rate for a selective fisherys needs to be above 50% and the higher the more successful the fishery will be..Hatchery managers in my past dealings are just that.

Looks like they're on Bachelor's Island which is just above the Lewis.....

If they want to target lower river hatchery and not run into catchsharing issues with the tribes then these operations need to move into the tribs... Time and Place.. But that should go over like a turd in the punchbowel.

i wonder if the wdfw is stupid enough to change the ocean and columbia to hatchery only chinook ??

WDFW already did that in the 1970s and 80s. That, in large part, led to the ESA listings. There's no going back any time soon.

I think we have been fishing hatchery only since about 1948, and your right there's no going back anytime soon.

Boater, about the time I think you have something to add then something not well thought out or knowledgeable comes out of your keyboard. This is "your bad." Get off your axe to grind. You can do better.
