[quote dtayboyz]Wonder how many native fish still spawn in salmon falls creek above the res? May be a Nevada problem. Why plant hybrids instead of native strains, they already haul fish back and forth from hells canyon and Buhl.[/quote]
The creek above looks pretty silty. Maybe possible further into Nevada. Stocking with natives is a pretty complicated process. Each isolated stream system may have its own unique genetics. In order not to mess up the ones that are already there, they have to collect multiple fish from the system itself. Then set up an isolated hatchery and rearing system. It can be done and is being done in the Bear River area between Alexander and Oneida. The money to do it there came from Pacificorp as mitigation for the dam.
