It's a state stocking program where each port houses baby salmon and steelhead in pens for a couple of weeks instead of direct stocking. It helps with insuring growth, health and future returns of the salmon to these port due to being imprinted to the river scent. We ask for volunteers to help set up pens, maintain the pens, feed the fish and then release the fish. Then after pen are removed from water and dried out we teared the pens down and store away for next yr.

Wow that’s a great program. Wish we lived up that way still.
