Hidden Falls Will Collect Final Broodstock, Volitional if Possible
Final broodstock are being collected & counted using leads into the barrier net during the fishery today. We may be able to finish it this way but if not we’ll enlist a boat. If we can complete the broodstock goal our intention is to open Kasnyku Bay for fishing.
Deep Inlet tops 350,000 Chum Catch for all Gear
Deep Inlet keeps chugging along providing the best catches for June and early July since 2000. SSRAA sampled the District 4 seine fishery on July 7th and found 30% of the chum catch was Medvejie origin. Several percent was Hidden Falls as well.
You can track the return here.
