Food for thought there Rivrguy. We ought to pencil out several scenarios to understand where the fishery lands. Sport fishermen might be just as well off without the hatchery - hard to say that after catching clipped coho last year.

Did not take long to slide into makeshift profanity did it?

Anyway my E - mail says that the TV news had a bit that Ocean Shores said not no but hell no to dumping the fry in Duck Lake. http://www.king5.com/news/local/Ocean-Sh...-142874735.html

What I love about this is the dead fish several years back were likely morts after the dump which you always have some, but if you screw up on the loading of the truck, loose oxygen or just crap happens you have a lot of dead fish. Oh yeah they evidently just preferred to ignore it last time rather than fess up and clean up the morts sooooooooooooo pay back time as the public perception is low DO.

Bad policy!

i keep hearing there short $400,000 for food...it cost that much to raise the fish in just the Hump hatchery a yr ????

Oh boy no but they had a big program. I think that is R-6 or state wide but do not hold me to it. My bill on 700 k Coho was 30k plus so it does not compute.

its got to be state wide..you'd think anyways

Has anybody talk to CCA about this they might have some money for the food.

I propose that from now on anytime someone wants more money for something you've already paid for it shall be referred to in the following manner:

"You just got Humped, and not in a good way"

bio oregon cost is around 1.40 to 1.60per lb and the fish are usualy fed between 1 and 2 % of the weight in fish in each pond fish are feeding schedules can varry but count on a 4 day per week at least. fish need to be fed for approx 5mo for fall CK and 11mo for CO.
