IHN Outbreak on the Quillayute System
Wednesday, February 3, 2010 at 12:00AM 
It is time to demand an end to failed hatchery programs.
An IHN outbreak in hatchery reared steelhead has resulted in the culling of all hatchery fish at the Bogachiel State Hatchery. Wild Broodstock fish in the Snider Creek program on the Sol Duc may also be infected and are being closely monitored for the disease.
If the disease spread to the wild population in the Quillayute system, the effects could be disastrous.
