In the new Fishing & Hunting News page 6; it talks about smolt plants again. This subject leaves me puzzled? I fish the North Fork of the Stilly, the Wallace, and the Sky. Now it says that they put in l46,400 smolts in the Stilly, l9,700 in the Wallace, and l43,600 in the Sky. The last few years the fishing has been real slow for me in these rivers. A fish here and there just enough to keep you coming every week-end. Now on the coast the Calawah received 57,500, the Bogey received 85,000, and the Sol Duc 50,000 smolt. The last couple of years, every time I fished the Bogey, the Calawah or the Duc I either caught fish or lost fish and always seems like several put on the bank. Now with the numbers the way that they are; why does it seem that these rivers have such a better fishery return from their smolts?
