Brood Collection Successful; Deep Inlet to Re-open

Operations Manger Adam Olson coordinated broodstock collection over the weekend. The operation was a success, with an estimated 33,000 chum caught and transported  to Medvejie on two tenders, the Debbie Sue and the Grace C.  The seiners Kalliste, Legacy, El Dorado and Reiver caught the fish and did a great job keeping them alive for transport. Thanks to all involved for your hard work.

Numbers of chum swimming into Bear Cove have improved over the past week. At this point we are optimistic that we’ll have enough fish for broodstock needs. Chum eggtakes are set to begin Wednesday.

The ADF&G news release came out this morning, re-opening Deep Inlet with a Troll day on Wednesday, August 26. The normal rotation will resume beginning with a seine opening on Thursday.
