During January an estimated
102 steelhead were caught, 86 of these were retained (73 adrv, 12 ad),
7 wild steelhead were caught and released. This was the highest January
harvest in the last 4 years though catch was higher in 2003. Angler effort
was slightly higher than the past two years. Anglers average 10 hours
per steelhead. Boat anglers were doing much better in January, averaging
a steelhead for each 7.7 hours fished.
The Ringold Springs
Rearing Facility collected, caudal clipped, and transported 409 hatchery
steelhead between Nov 1 and Dec 20. These fish were released in the Tri-cities
to provide additional angling opportunity. In January, 22 of these recycled
steelhead were harvested (5% of released). To date, 91 recycled steelhead
have been retained, 22% of the total released.
