Interesting read........ Quilcene hatchery 100 years old.

Too bad the hatchery created a complete barrier at what, 2.8 miles...

They've created quite a snagery. I don't see why those coho enter the river when it has so little water. Used to fish them in the bay when I lived there. Talk about lock jaw. Could get them to bite on small, flashy presentations though.

Well, after last weekend's rains there are coho jumping even near the Great Bend. Similar hatchery stock or strays?

There have been some exchanges of coho eggs between Quilcene and George Adams hatchery throughout the years.
