NW Salmon (The Good Intentions of Hatchery Fish)

Salmon Running the Gauntlet (PBS @ Fly Fisherman Anonymous)

“Most discussions about the causes of declining salmon runs focus on the four H’s: habitat, hatcheries, harvest and hydropower. But the most important factor may be an ‘I’, as in invasive species.”     (Report here)
