If you are one of the fortunate feel like a kid in a candy store every time The Drake publishes a new issue, you may have already read the intriguing article, "Why Hatcheries Suck" by Stephen Hawley in the Spring 2012 edition.   In this article, Stephen lists the publication, Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS) as a source.  My interest was extremely sparked by this article, and seeing that I am always game for challenges I took Stephen up on his challenge and found the source article and supporting information to expand my knowledge of the subject.  

Read-up ladies and gentlemen,  the supporting information and abstract are free. And, 10 bucks for a PDF of the article is well worth the ass you will kick in your next heated hatchery debate at the local fly-shop. 

Thank you Steven, thank you to all at The Drake, and thank you to the researchers and publishers of this article!
