This is because there isn't a true summer run of natives on the green. Any unclipped summer fish you catch on the green was most likely missed by the fish wheel just above the aburn/black diamond bridge. A large portion of hatchery fish spawn out in the river. The wheel catches the smolt on their way down for marking. That is my understanding of the 1 unclipped fish limit on the green. But I could be totally mis-informed.

The Cedar, White, and Green would have Sweet runs of both summers and winters if they were never diverted back in 1910....Maybe
