By the way, Wild Origin Chinook are by definition naturally spawned (not clipped - yeah I know the argument) chinook. They do not necessarily have to be from a native run. The Little Salmon River run is artificially propogated from a hatchery built by Idaho Power to make up for wiping out the runs above Hell's Canyon Dam. The fish there were originally from Hell's Canyon stocks. There are very few wild fish remaining in the LSR, but Hazard Creek has a few native, wild fish. Just a point of clarification...
