It is still too early to tell, because the huge pink escapements hit the South Prairie Creek system in 2003, and it takes about six years to get a full steelhead brood back.

But, both the steelhead and Chinook that spawn there are showing a very positive response to the pinks. It would appear that the Chinook are responding the the cleaner gravel, as the response is in the fish that spawn the next year. In steelhead, the fish that spawn the spring before the pinks are the one's responding.

We have been seeing 200-400K pinks in the whole of SPC. care to expand that to the Skagit?.
