At Bingham all fish going up the East Fork Satsop are stopped by a weir go into the holding ponds and the wild are passed upstream by way of a pipe from the pond into the river. I cannot say unclipped because Bingham CWT's a certain number of smolt that are not clipped to utilize as a cross check on data accuracy of returning adults. All the fish are checked with a metal detector wand similar to those used at concerts to sort out fish with CWT implants in the fish. Bingham Creek also has a weir that requires putting fish up manually that is operated by the Science Division. A quick look at the math says they pass the wild jacks as well as the adults upstream.

As to the virtual meeting, I tend to agree with you. Not because I doubt the Director's sincerity but rather history says staff will do what they deem appropriate regardless of what the public input is. End result is more or less a PR thing which is unfortunate.
