If netting has to be allowed, wouldn't it be better if they only opened part of the river course? For example, open a section of river, but only allow from the center of the river to the South shore (for a river running from East to West)..... That way you'd know some fish have a chance to make...

Hi Simon - Can you comment on what percentage of the released fish are marked as hatchery?

Thank you for jumping on and providing an update. For those fish moved offsite, will they return to Chapman or do they imprint on the Capilano?

I went to the hatchery site and sent them a message asking about the status of the well and to join this site and comment on this thread... http://scsalmon.org/contact

And, in the mean time, flows in the creek would be helped by this as well. It would help any spawners that don't hit the hatchery. This should be linked to helping the whales... people from multiple groups would probably pay attn. - Paul

Just ran across some bad news about the Chapman Creek hatchery and the impact of expected low water flows this summer. For the size of the creek, they do a great job. Too bad they're having to deal with this issue on top of everything else...

If the Cap is maxed out, then it does seem like focusing on enhancing the Seymour and other creeks/rivers up the Indian Arm would be a good alternative. Seems like their migration patterns would be similar to that of the Cap. Hopefully the Squamish will continue to improve too. Nice to see a...

Might be worthwhile to move down the food chain and enhance the Salish Sea herring - Reduce the Commercial Herring Fishery Increase Spawning http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/herring-run-squamish-wrapping-pilons-creosote-jonn-matsen-1.3447913 That would help the entire food...

Good point, but it used to get real muddy out there during flood back in the day. Not as much these days, but it still happens....

Not sure how 29-1 differs from ECVI though... but, maybe it's just easier to paint the regs with a broad brush

Seems odd that 29-1 is closed year round. - I know the concern is probably septic/sewage, but there are still a lot of beaches that haven't been built up much.

Low water levels in Chapman Creek are creating higher temperatures and shallow waterways that are threatening salmon survival. The water level in Chapman Creek is controlled partially by the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD), and general manager of infrastructure services Bryan Shoji...

Spots on the gill plate makes me think it was an Atlantic.

I always thought it was interesting how little kelp there is in Howe Sound. I wonder if it is a combination of the pulp mills and the old mine? There used to be a kelp bed near Roberts Creek, but it has been gone for years. Eel grass has left the area too....
