I asked him about Minter earlier this morning. I'll post when I hear back.Thanks for the info. If memory serves me correctly, the goal out of the net pens used to be 1.8 million fish, so 2.6 is quite an increase.
I wonder if they still do resident releases out of Minter or it has all shifted to Squaxin. Anyone know?
They used to clip different fins to identify which facility the fish came from.
I haven’t put in much effort the past few years, but when I have it hasn’t been anything close to what it used to be. It’s been that way for a while now, at least in my experience.
Not catching many either while targeting cutts, which used to be pretty common. It was fun to watch them increase in size from winter into spring plus they are great eating.
With that many fish released, you’d think they’d be readily available. Perhaps food source based for them being in different locations now or heading further north? I’m not sure.

I'd say it's been at least 3-4 years since any consistent resident coho fishing for me. 2017-2019 were pretty good for me
