DeFlyer and Johnson gave offi-

said House had been at the resi-

and a gun. He was waving a gray
semiautomatic gun at her and De-
Flyer. He reportedly pointed the
pistol at DeFlyer when she refused
to give him her cell phone. John-
son said he was accusing them of
stealing his gun and threatening
to shoot them. She said he pointed
the gray handgun at her and or-
dered her to drive him to Porter
and she and DeFlyer walked out
of the residence to the van at gun-

House allegedly tried to get
speakers out of the van when they
arrived in Porter but Johnson sped

(Continued from page 28.)
Anderson thinks the population
of returning fish has reached a
point where incubation might
not be needed anymore. While
this might not be welcome news
to the next cohort of Cub Scouts,
the work at Jarrell Creek is in
the spirit of what the state hopes
to accomplish on a larger scale
as the state tries to have it both
ways when it comes to hatchery
fish and salmon in the wild.
Washington's hatchery system
is the largest in the world, and
with chum on the run selective
fisheries are the order of the day
when it comes to improving the
fortunes of wild salmon stocks in
Hood Canal and other waters in
the state. A selective fishery is
one in which anglers release any
wild salmon they catch but get
to keep a fish produced in state
hatcheries located on streams
that empty into Puget Sound.
THE DEPARTMENT of Fish
and Wildlife is trying to generate
a "synergy" of selective fisher-
ies, hatchery retbrm and habitat
restoration as a way of helping
wild salmon stocks recover their
population levels. As part of
this effort, the state is working
with the managers of hydroelec-
tric projects to minimize their
adverse effects on anadromous
fish. Officials are also involved
with some joint planning with
Long Live the Kings, a nonprof-
it group that tries to integrate
hatchery, habitat and harvest
management as recommended
by the Hatchery Specific Review
Group. The Department of Fish
and Wildlife has already imple-
mented hundreds of changes as
part of its long-term hatchery
improvement effort.
Congressman Norm Dicks,
D-Belfair, recently extolled the
benefits of selective fisheries
when he addressed a gathering
of people who came to celebrate
the removal of agricultural dikes
on the old Nalley Farm in the
estuary of the Skokomish River.
This followed his joint appear-
ance with Governor Christine
Gregoire before a special meet-
ing of the Washington Fish and
Wildlife Commission.
Dicks described new summer
selective chinook fisheries in
Puget Sound as "the most suc-
cessful ones I've seen" and urged
the commission to expand the
number of selective fisheries.
At the same time the congress-
man said he does not favor re-
ducing the hatchery production
of salmon. He is of the opinion
that a strong hatchery program
will help sustain fish programs
by producing fish for harvest. He
has supported funding fo the
mass markin of hatchery fish so
they can be distinguished from
wild stocks and made the point
that by removing hatchery fish
from the waters, selective fisher-
ies allow fewer hatchery fish to
spawn in the wild and increase
the genetic integrity of the wild
stocks.
Them Johnson of the Depart-
ment of Fish and Wildlife pro-
vided this newspaper with a re-
port on chinook salmon return-
ing to spawn naturally in the
Skokomish River that indicates
that the two strongest runs since
1988 have occurred in two of the
last three years. The count was
2,666 in 1988 compared to 2,398
in 2004 and 2,032 in 2005. Over
the 15 years that separate the
two historic highs, fishery biolo-
gists counted 17,204 returning
chinook for an average of 1,147
per year. The low was the 452
counted in 1997, and last year's
chinook run was 1,209, down
about 40 percent from 2005.
