Dang! I should really fish the American more often seeing that I am only 10 miles away. I fish it like 2 times a season.

that might be of fish in one of the raceways, not what was swimming around in the river but I could be wrong on that.

Looks like the raceway to me. All those fish are healthy and chrome lookin. Usually in the ladders you will see some pretty dark and dirty fish.

I went fishing four weeks ago, my five year old an I caught and safely released 7 little guys about that size. All clipped, in fact the fish swimming in the upper left corner of your picture looks very familiar!

I figured it wasn't the river but the top pool at the hatchery. It has been a while since I have seen it that full with decent looking fish. If there are that many fish there, just thinking that there are probably a butt load down river. But that was five weeks ago. Now, I pretty much stuck a fork in it.

This photo was taken at the raceways! But there was some silver bright steelhead in the river a couple of weeks ago!

Beautiful photo! Catches the excitement of seeing schooling fish - even if in a raceway.
