It was just on Channel 3 News that Nimbus hatchery will not be releasing any smolt into the rivers because of the low water flow conditions and the warm water temperatures.

Instead they will be trucking all of the smolt down river and releasing them directly into the bay. Hopefully this will improve survival rate and bypass the pumps that send our water south.

There was no mention of what the other hatcheries will be doing such as the Feather River or Battle Creek . I've seen trucks in years past from the Feather River taking smolt down and dumping them in the bay as well.

Hope it helps, Tony
