Chum Man,
You are only partially correct. While Voights Creek may have a dismal return rate on its winter steelhead program, it produces one of the highest smolt to adult return rates of any hatchery program in Puget Sound on Coho, and isnt far behind on Fall Chinook. While it is largely a floss fishery, the Puyallup has one of the highest sport harvests of coho of any of the rivers in Puget Sound. While it may not be everyones cup of tea, it is an urban opportunity for thousands of license buyers. Coded Wire Tag data shows Voights Coho to show up strong in virtually every fishery in Puget Sound, the Straits, and BC, so it offers more than just a terminal opportuntity, as well.
