NEN,
Two questions for you.
1-Where did you hear that over 1000 chinook returned to the Cedar River in 2001? Just curious.

2-Why do you think that there is a great deal of straying from the Issaquah Creek Hatchery, if the fish were not marked? Do you have data from otoliths, genetics? From what I read in the paper, the Cedar River Chinook are thought to be a native strain---similar to the fall chinook in the Green and White Rivers.

Were there any sockeye (or kokanee for that matter) in Lk. Washington prior to the introduction of Baker Lake sockeye? I was under the impression that there were.
