Today was our third day working with Fish and Game. We started off early with the drive down to Durham. We went out and checked the fish ladders again. We sampled about 150 fish by netting, measuring, and taking scales. We, again, saw almost no fish compared to what Fish and Game usually sees coming through these ladders. They reiterated that at this rate, we are headed for a 30 year low for number of fish passed into the rivers.
We finished off the day after working with Fish and Game by casting for a while below some falls we had inspected earlier.
People were baiting up herring that they were catching and then pulling out monster stripers. It was a very exciting way to end the day and after that we headed back to Proctor.
