I was up around the Fortson area today and was suprised to see several coho in the rearing pond and even more spawning in the stream that flows into it. All of them had an adipose fin, so I would assume they're wild. They were so thick in the stream that one could probably walk across their backs.

Are salmon reared in the pond or is it just steelhead? If only hatchery steelhead are being reared, then how do they keep coho and steelhead smolts seperate? I would think that when the steelhead are being fed pellets (or whatever they're fed) that the coho smolts would be getting an easy meal, which would explain why there are so many retuning adults.
