For now we are doing it on a year to year basis until the salmon population recovers. In discussions with F&G, we expect recovery in 2-3 years...

Salmon rearing has been moved from the Powder Mill hatchery to the Nashua hatchery which will immediately help in raising larger smolt. The larger smolt will survive better and eventually the missing age classes will return.
