The tribe raises coho and they are marked. They are also talking about releases of upwards of 60K early run steelhead over the next 5 years. Feds apparently aren't too happy about that, but .... time will tell if the early run component is going to be maintained by the tribe.

I understand that their new hatchery is some distance up from the river mouth. The existing hatchery is right at the mouth.

As for marking WDFW hatchery fish (Chinook), it hasn't been happening except of otolith marking and CWTs.

Rivrguy - I'm always happy to see 40# fish in the river. We've had some show up in the Dungeness, too. They might have been bigger in the salt. Whether the genes are there to have some of the fish stay in the salt for another year or two will have to waited for, I guess. I'd like to think there might still be some around....
