Wanted to provide an update on an earlier posting I made. Talked to another Biologist within the organization heading up the culvert replacement. He filled me in on the efforts that ARE in fact being undertaken to determine numbers of spawners, redds, outmigrating fry, etc, both before and after the culvert replacement with a bridge.

Excellent point regarding opening up more of the river to creatures other than salmon, as well as the point about the importance of Chum. Talk about a quick turnaround between entering the river and the outmigrating of the fry. Just a couple months!
