Those fish are tethered for the snyder creek hatchery on the upper soleduc. Most of the west end guides tether as well as some of the local fishermen. Fish are usually picked up the same day or the next morning. Some do come untied...... Bob had one come loose this year. Friends have lost them coming down stream also. Not sure about the return sucess (quality of fish and numbers). The hatchery is trying to increase the number of early native fish that return to the solduc. Nets and pressure have really hit them hard.
