No, the hatcheries were the chief vector.

Hi Willi,

Understood, but that was not my question. Fact is, WD, affecting
Rainbow trout, which are descendent from stockings of rainbow
trout...kind of a zero sum and, somehow, perfect in the 'naturalness'
of it, when you think about it. The Rainbow trout is the biggest threat
to the indiginous species of Colorado (lack of genetic diversity
through hybridization). It's amazing that nature was able to suss out
this invader so quickly.

Thanks man,
