Lewis River Fish Statistics? - 06/04/02 04:42 PM

Used the search-function and couldn't find the answer so --

does anyone know if there are fish counts available for the Lewis River, hatchery return updates, etc?

Thanks!

From Monday's weekly report:

"Lewis River - Also producing a mixture of hatchery spring chinook and steelhead. Through May 29, a total of 927 chinook had returned to the facilities. 54 fish were recycled downstream to Pekin's Ferry. Flows below Merwin Dam were 6,210 cfs today."

Let me know if you need more specific information.

Thanks Stacey, I was trying to learn more about this river and the timing of the runs. Is there a site containing more historical data, showing fish returns by month?

I'm wondering if down at the mouth, at the Columbia, are the chinook about done and it turns to a steelhead fishery, or are there lots more chinook expected to return?
