Pressure on the river has increased significantly this year again and I get the feeling that most these folks do not know about the decreased plants for this years returning fish.


Got call from Lake Aberdeen hatchery......The following happened in 2015

1. Water stoppage at incubation trays, result was major demise of at that part of the fish rising process.

2. Indicated that there was no alarm system, AT THAT TIME.

Bottom line.....plant for that year was 88,700 and not the normal 170,000+.

Enjoy the river, many will be on a full day of boat rides, with not many fish......bumper boats!!!!!
