Right now there releasing about 6 million smolts and returning about 50 to 60k adults on a average year, less than 1%. So 250000 smolts would be equal to about 2000 to 2500 adults in the willamette, moving them to YB with a 2 or 3% percent survival rate should come out to somewhere between 4000 and 7500 fish returning. Impacts on the gillnet are still 100% but the mark rate in the terminal fisherys rises from 80/20 in the river to a couple of hundred to one. So it gives more fish to commercials and gives more impacts to sport plus whatever steelhead are saved. Works on paper atleast.
