[quote mudsucker]I've got a question for you, since you keep up with river happenings...Are they fish counters or what?[/quote]
Thanks for the question. GOOD question!! It's Saturday morning and IDFG won't open shop again until Monday. It may take me awhile to track that down but we will do what we can. Generally, all the IDFG folks are pretty nice when it comes to answering questions. Sometimes they take a long time to return calls--they always say they were "in the field." I've tried to use that line with some people, including my wife, but it never works as well for me as it works for the IDFG people. (LOL). Anyway, that's a danged good question.
Did you notice that huge antenna set up at Deer Gulch this summer? There were a couple more of them out along the river where you couldn't see them from the highway. Turns out they were some NOAA Fisheries gig and nobody at IDFG knew the details about them. I am hoping whatever you saw wasn't a NOAA thing because that would mean I'd have to deal with the federal bureaucracy and sometimes inquiries to the feds just go into a black hole never to seen or heard from again.
IDFG Staff always returns calls, even if they take their time. The feds? Not so much.
Have a great last Saturday in September & Happy Fishing, jp
