Salmon Run

[Gill-T]

Anyone been up to the Altmar Hatchery recently?  Was wondering how the late run of kings was this year.  Lots of cool water this year to help natural repro but if there are no fish in the raceway or the brook then it doesn’t matter.

Don't worry a lot and i mean a lot of salmon made it through the snaggers to spawn.

Three weeks ago there were fish cutting redds, fair numbers of hens around.  Two weeks there were lots of solitary males around did not see a fish cutting in three days.  Last week saw next to nothing except really zombie males, but the water went up after 1/2 day.  I think the bulk of the salmon have come and gone, although a friend who works in the hatchery said there were still a few freshies in the ladder.
