two years ago fisheries released coho fry into alouette lake and then opened spill way to check mortality rate of the fry going over dam. kokanee also went over spill way which surprised every one. this year 28 sockeye returned to the alouette river (dna proved they were kokanee from the lake) 6 sockeye went into the hatchery the rest died trying to get into the lake through discharge tunnel. the 6 sockeye were released into the lake with transmiters on them . dose anyone know what happened to them and what the fisheries have planned for this spring?

The best thing to do is contact ARMS in Maple Ridge. Or the Alco park Hatchery. They are the ones that control the Allouette. I believe they will be doing the same thing as last year and opening the spill way for a short period to allow the fry to leave. They will also be monitoring the the dam come next year for any more fish that return so that they can capture them and release them into the lake. This will continue until the fish ladder has been built.

So plans for a ladder are in the works?

As long as hydro puts up the money. They promised they would as long as it was proven that the dna where from the strain of fish in the lake. The dna came back with a 100% match.

so did hydro ever build the ladder?

Nope.

No, but they are responsible to net then truck the sockeye to the lake.
