Have you been paying any attention? A lot of them DO work. BTW, it's no secret who is responsible for the extinction of the wild Snake River coho, and it sure wasn't the Indians:

So here's a quote for you, just in case you're too lazy to read the whole thing:
"In 1995, the Nez Perce Tribe of Idaho began a reintroduction program by releasing into the Clearwater River Basin 630,000 coho fry reared in Mitchell Act hatcheries in the lower Columbia River. The program has been moderately successful. Coho are known to be opportunistic, prolific spawners, and the first adult returns were noted at Lower Granite Dam in 1997, a total of 85 fish. The number of returning adults grew steadily. In 2000, a total of 891 adults and 36 jacks were counted, a smolt-to-adult return ratio of less than one-tenth of one percent compared to the number of juveniles that had been released, a rate that scientists consider low. The count at Lower Granite topped 1,000 fish for the first time in 2003, and was more than 3,000 in 2004 and more than 2,000 in 2005. Jack counts have increased, as well, consistently topping 100 fish per year. In 2006, for example, a total of 263 jacks were counted at Lower Granite, the highest since 460 were counted in 1976. The 2006 adult count was lower than in recent years — 1,141 — but the trend remains upward."
So if we ever do get enough coho coming back to support a fishery, you can thank the tribe. Not that you probably would since it's obvious you're an ignorant racist troll.
