 Game puts into the rivers. 



Incidentally, this program on the steelhead 

 of the State Department of Game is one of the classics 

 of fresh water fisheries management. It is being adopted 

 by the State of California and others. 



Steve, put the next one on, will you please. 

 (Slide MK-2) 



The broken line is the catch of steelhead 

 for the Snohomish, the solid line is the plants--the scales 

 are hard to read, but you can see the plants in the recent 

 years have been between 160,000 and 180,000 downstream 

 migrant steelhead. As the plants increase so do the 

 catches increase. 



This is the Snohomish. Can you give me a 

 Skagit? 



(Slide MK-3) 



Again here is the Skagit system. The Skagit 

 is unpolluted. The Skagit is the best steelhead stream 

 in the State of Washington. You can see the broken line 

 and the plants are in a different scale, they have had 

 some plants up as high as 670,000, but in recent years, 

 according to this, it is about 200,000. They have set up 

 the new program, the slough program, which has helped 

 things along too. Another very, very successful program.
