According to the Wells Dam fish counts, they've had 2100 unclipped steelhead go over the dam, and 4500 "hatchery" fish this year. (Both down from any of the past 4 years it has been open, it was over 15,000 total in 2001).
The question is, where are all the clipped fish? Everyone I have talked to has gotten mostly unclipped fish, myself included. We should be catching clipped fish at a 2:1 rate.
