Thanks Salma,
I did not realize they strayed into the rivers that much. Do you know if there would be a way to delay the release of some of the Deschutes river stock. With around 30,000 returning there it seems that a lot are not being caught. If the department could get more of these to stay as blackmouth it seems it would be an advantage to the area in a lot of ways. I realize the past net pens in the area may not be viable anymore but are there any other areas or methods that might work?
