How incredibly green it is! Can you believe it is July 17 and things look like this. This is certainly an uncommon sight for those of us who have lived here for many years.

Initially, the outlook from the fall 2018 egg collection efforts did not look very promising. Due to fewer mature females being present in the system due to limited stockings during 2015 and 2016, FWP Fisheries and hatchery personnel were only able to collect just over 110 thousand eggs last fall. On a positive note, with the few...
