DUE TO COLD WATER THIS SPRING THE RELEASE DATE FOR THE STEELHEAD WILL MORE LIKELY BE ON MAY 3. THOSE FISH JUST DON’T EAT WHEN THE WATER REMAINS AT 41F SO THEY HAVEN’T ACHIEVED SMOLT STATUS YET.
fINAL DECISION AS TO WHEN THE RELEASE SHALL OCCUR WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE wdf&w BIOLOGIST SAMPLING THAT WILL BE TAKEN 20 APRIL
