Hatchery today

[Charlie Gonzales]

A few bad pictures from the hatchery today. Saw about a dozen or more steelies in the ladder today, all were 8 to 12 lbs.

I don't think all the numbers are in... :confused:

GBF is helping Dry Creek Conservancy do the count in Dry Creek on the 18th....

Plus, last year, there were still numbers coming in during JAN/FEB (according to an e-mail I received from the DCC) :eek:

How can anyone get an accurate count???? [-(

Does anyone know if the hatchery uses returning hatchery fish as brood stock or only wild fish?

Just curious...
