Certainly you are not suggesting that the Skagit River is expecting 500,000 brats back this year! They WDFW may release that many between the main stem releases and the 200,000 or so from the Cascade.

But a return? On an exceptional year you might get 5,000 back. The last 10 years? Probably 1,500 - 2,500.

The brats hardly interfere with the nates in this system where most spawning takes place in April....

Speaking of.....what the heck is going on with the Grandy Creek project? I heard that it was funded two years ago.
