Wynoochee is not a good example....they have a "fish trap", 2 miles below the man made dam.....all Coho, many wild steelhead are trucked above the dam.....spawning for those fish is about 2 miles of river....then a natural dam stops them from going further....

Smolt from these spawning fish, have to go "thur the out flow tubes", been a few studies done but in general....not very many smolt make it.
