Thanks for the numbers Drifter. What is a little interesting to me is that the numbers I got last year were 0 wild fish above the lake. The reason being that wild fish should/would have higher success of out migrating without navigating the hydro dam. So they were released between the fish collection facility and hydro dam. I wonder what has changed? Planting location of those fish was also described to me as "in-river" above the lake. If you want to go see all these fish take a hike up there to the falls.

Can someone explain to me why this section is closed? Is the concern over the 17 wilds? Seems like you should reasonably expect interbreeding with that ratio of hatchery / wild? Or, is it that there is no fishery expectation and TCL is just doing required mitigation? Seems like there is a opportunity for a good and "clean" fishery. The QIN would be upset were fishing? They fish the same "terminal" areas at their hatcheries.
