According to Regional Mark Information System (RMIS), there has been periodic outplants into the Smith River and trips of coho, steelhead, Chinook, chum over the years since the late 1970s. There is no "Smith River Hatchery" releases shown. The winter steelhead releases into the Smith River were raised at a variety of locations including Lake Aberdeen Hatchery, Eells Springs (Skokomish Basin), Forks Creek Hatchery. Looks like the Smith River received steelhead releases as recently as 2012.
