If we are talking about juvenile coho, Chinook, and sockeye it's possible that the competition is for food, if the juveniles are rearing in a pond, side channel, or lake in the system.

Unfortunately for Lake Sammamish, if we are talking about eating salmonid eggs, that would mostly mean cutthroat, since all of the sea going salmon are pretty much born in the Issaquah Hatchery these days frown

In any event, it's all relative...I'm sure piscivorous fish like crappie, bass, and the like eating smolts is the actual competition we are worried about here.

Fish on...
