Wild Steelhead versus Hatchery Steelhead

Some great footage in this sequence.  It also trumpets my personal belief system of improving habitat for wild fish.  This also requires that hatchery fish are phased out to allow the wild fish to fully recover.  Hatchery fish just mask problems while creating more problems for wild fish.  You can only shoot an injured warrior up on drugs for so long before the underlying problems work their way to the surface.
