THE WEEKLY HATCHERY SCOOP
“Harrumph. Back again, are they? Cowlitz put up a measly 1149? Kalama Falls barely more than a six-pack short of a thousand. And Skookumchuck? 272? Even a blind cavefish could do better. Dayton’s barely worth mentioning. Used to be you could walk across the Columbia on salmon backs, now it’s like tryin’ to find a photon black hole – good luck. Hawking probably figured it out already, the egghead.
Pro Tip: Find the deepest pool and wait. Patience is a virtue even primates can learn, maybe.
What’s Bitin: Desperation. And poorly tied flies.
Grandpa’s Grumble: These hatcheries are about as effective as teachin’ a rock to swim.
