Robertson Creek "surplus" fish ???

[runamuk]

At the guides association meeting we were informed of a large number of salmon fry that had died. They were supposedly"surplus" fish. Does anyone have any information on this?

Phone the hatchery and ask... better than second hand info. (and then tell us what you found out!!! LOL )

I have made a number of calls no one will return the calls . I asked one of the employees and they said they had a confidentiality clause and was not allowed to discuss it. That is why I am trying this route as I would hate to cost someone their job. I am really curious as to what surplus fish are at this day and age. The discussion was that there were close to a million chinook fry killed .

After seeing how the returns have been in general over the last 10 years i would say there aren't any "surplus" fish

Voters should not allow a confidentialityclause in agencies without national security involved. We have same problem this side of the border. And since when are fry surplus these days?

I have to agree.. Seems like a shame that the eggs were taken from the wild at all now, at least a small percentage would have returned, now none of them will. They lost 60 000 steel head there last year as well.

Am I the only one who finds it strange that after 453 views no one is talking about this??? No offering of an explanation or clarification on what actually happened?

I believe 100,000 S1 eggs died and destroyed .....so there will be no small fish for the experiment this year..just lost my minutes from the SFAC- alberni meeting..searun will be able to fill in the holes...

Were these the ones they were trying to imitate the process lady from Great Central performs?
