Kore and Ron Bob: Thanks for the feedback. As you said, Kore, they planted 30,900 smolts in the spring of 1998; these fish were expected to return last winter. If what you're saying is true, Ron Bob, then this was the last smolt planting they did. Being that you live right there in Carnation and are privy to the local news, I guess you would know if anyone would. When I think of the Tolt, I always think of those black-and-white pictures of good old Milt Keizer fishing the Tolt...

Pretty sad.
