We often have school groups down to the fence in the spring to see some of the Coho smolts that are migrating out of the creek to start the marine phase of their life cycle.
one of my dad's friends uses trees with the root wad on to create habitat for salmon smolts for ecology projects. he needed some trees for that and i wanted these trees to not be right next to my power lines. he took them away for no charge.
caught this guy the other day and what I thought was a state record creek chub is actually a northern pikeminnow. the gov will pay you to catch and kill these on the columbia bc they eat salmon smolts like candy. if I lose my job to a fkn machine, I'm going to do that for a living

No, not breeding fish, i used to raise Atlantic salmon commercially. The freshwater sites handled the breeding part, i got the smolts after they were about a year old I have had aquarium fish in the past, going back to childhood, but don't currently have anything, though i want to get back into it.
if you see this, post a bridge
Smolts = smol salmon, smelts = smelly oily fish (and hell if I can keep that straight in my head either)
I think I saw a tiny fish darting in one of the deeper small pools of a tributary about a mile upstream of the creek. I've seen steelhead smolts in this stream, but in larger pools closer to the creek. I've never seen one this far upstream. Fish, are you returning? Good luck little guy
Before the fish started dying, the region was in a period of drought. Then, immediately after significant rainfall, the smolts turned up dead. All the evidence pointed to a chemical found in tire rubber.
