Hey Bob...
But isn't that always how it is with hatchery programs? When they first
start they are incrediable but than after 10 years the returns aren't as
great and everything starts to get messed up... ie fish get boring due to
lack of new blood not coming back in as great of numbers...
I'm not very knowledgeable about the hatchery programs but I know the Bogie
is all screwed up and that the Scheider Creek is pretty successful and it
is ran by guides and they constantly throw in some wild fish (the best and
the brightest) occasionally into the line.

Good luck with your book.
One of the things you might consider pointing out is the sad irony that
exists when the best steelhead (and for that matter, Chinook) fishery is in
the Great Lakes states where they are not even native. It is a classic
example of what good fishery management can do as opposed to poor
management,
or, in our case, total mismanagement.
