first off there is a hatchery here and there at casadero

Since when is there a hatchery at cazadero. They sort fish there but the only hatchery is at mciver. The upper clack above cazadero has no hatchery and few if any clipped fish ever get past there.

How far up is cazadero? I'm not to sure where that is.

There's cazadero powerhouse below faraday, and then there's cazadero diversion dam just upriver from faraday( I think it's actually called faraday dam). They sort fish at the dam holding pens and only let the nates go on from there.

what do they do with the clipped ones? they go back into the OFF hole??
maybe they should hand them to peeps like me with blank tags...

Clippers get sent to the hatchery or get recycled down river.

Im pretty sure they get trucked down to the Barton area.

I don't bealive all the fish get recycled, and there not all trucked to barton.

 

[Fishtopher]

Youre right, some get trucked to certain lakes in the area too.

I know they were putting a bunch only down to feldheimers this year too.

 

[Fishtopher]

Got an idea of why they dont truck em down farther?

 

[osmosis]

If they put 'em down further more folks get a chance to catch them. They are more interested in getting their eggs back than creating opportunity for anglers.
atleast it's better than them having the fish in tanks for months until the "ripen"

theyve been dumpin them in a lot of lakes.. all the popular lakes too.. ive seen a lot last year takin my dad and friends trout fishing.. thought they were brutes but a ranger told me they were steelie recycled and dropped off for fishers...

 

[autofisher]

They drop them just about everywhere. They even put them in the Junction City ponds. They take a couple to the smaller ponds and lakes around here in Salem too.

If you catch one of those recycles, say at Trillium Lake, do you need to record it on your tag?

 

[youngbuck307]

I am sure you do!!! its any trout above ...... dont remember how many inches it is at this time but im almost sure thats how it works....

I don't know about other lakes, but I think in faraday you can keep five as they consider everything in there trout, don't quote me on that though.

 

[youngbuck307]

now i have to go try to find my book lol i thought if a trout got so big you had to tag it because they consider it a salmon\steelhead... just what i thought might be wrong...

The reason I ask is a lot of these places are only posted with trout limits and don't mention steelhead, and I'd imagine the trout specialists at these places catching them don't even have a tag.
