Today we netted Coho from the brail to be transported to the adult pond. This is the start of our fall Coho spawning project. We are going to try this year to do some spawning on the weekends so people who work can help. Students are also encouraged to join in and maybe get some credit for their senior projects. If anyone is interested in helping out please leave your name and number in the comments area. There is no set schedule for these projects.

Netting Coho out of the brail to be transferred to the tank truck for transport to the adult pond.
The water yesterday was over flowing the weir which made the fish move up river. Today the river dropped but fish are still trying to get upstream and jump into out brail trap. We then dip them out of the brail and transfer them to a tank truck and drive them to the adult pond holding area.
Recent rains brought back fish to the brail trap. Today we moved about 125 Coho to the adult pond.
With a few days of rain our brail trap was getting back some fish. We had to move them to the pond/raceway area today.
