Do you know if any effort was ever made to obtain brood stock?

No - the comments on the right state "No brood availability".

curious of those 500k how many adults return? I've heard it seldom exceeds 1 or 2,000

Also the spring 'rebuilding' number was not achieved due to no brood availability.

I believe only the fall whites are CWT tagged and used as return and exploitation indicator. Last I saw the Chilliwack whites had a 5% is survival rate to age 2 and had some of the highest survival out of many rivers.

Not sure where the summer reds rear, I don't think they rear in the strait of Georgia like the Harrison whites do.  I also don't no if they are ocean type like the Harrison whites where they migrate out to the marine estuary right away and stay their for 6 months or if their a stream type and stay in fresh water for a longer period of time.

Hit a spot where I saw red springs bonked last year, no bites. Campers close by said no one had any luck that day. Guess I'll save the rest of my roe for fall!

Went out yesterday to upper river to do some exploring. Didn't bother bringing the gear for springs. Here's a stretch of river at Allison Pools. Clarity was good.

Hey thanks, was a pleasant surprise after not seeing or hearing of a fish all day the day before.
