I just read a bit on Washington's take along this line in Northwest Flyfisherman. They are considering mandatory catch and keep for hatchery steelhead this season w/ the huge returns. The reason wasn't so much money (although I'm sure there is some connection somewhere) but was the concern that hatchery steelhead lessen the genetic line of wild steelhead and so they wanted to limit them breeding together. I have to ask though, if a hatchery steelhead spawns in the wild and it's offspring hatch, grow and travel to the ocean and back naturally, aren't they wild steelhead then and it's not an issue?
