Steelhead Limits

[prvrt]

Nice analogy, but if that were completely true, the hatchery fish would become so lazy and dumb, they would eventually never return or spawn. When a hatchery fish spawns with a wild, that makes a wild offspring with some genetically inferior hatchery genes in it. But, since they are raised in the river and not treated like (the spoiled rich kids), those offspring would eventually breed out the genetically inferior part and once again become true wilds which is what I stated in the original post about moving the fertilized eggs to another river spawning area and let nature takes its course. To me that is a much better idea than having people stuff their freezers with fish they can not eat and then end up throwing them away.

I was simply making the post to let people know about the limits and that I think F&G could do better in the way they are handling this years bumper crop of (Spoiled Rich Kids).
