I've been reading about how carcasses of spawned out salmon are an important source of nutriants in the rivers and that we are only getting 3% of the historical number of carcasses back in the system now. Since it looks like the hatcherys are going to be swamped with cohos this fall, it seems like it would be a good thing to disribute these carcases into the rivers. I don't know if there is already a program to do this, but it might be something local fishing clubs could volunteer for. I sent an e-mail to WDFW on this, but haven't head back from them yet. I think returning these carcasses to the rivers would be a better use for than putting them in catfood or whatever they do with them. I heard the Wildcat Steelhead Club was doing some carcass distributing on the Skagit last year. Does anyone know about this? Now would be the time to start organizing. I'll volunteer.
