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.


Ok, then lets try the Chinook run on the Satsop? The chum?

I am just saying that for whatever reason, to me, letting more fish spawn is a good thing. Crazy I know.
The idea that "too many fish hit the gravel" just doesn't make sense.
One would think ole ma nature kind of had a plan till we thought we knew more.
How is that working out?
