Where did you get this information Ralph?

don't recall if this information is published but knowing people inside the ministry and some of the swimmers the information gets talked about. The estimates are wide ranging due to swim conditions that day. There was one pool alone that you can see from the highway when driving by that the count in there was 46 fish. Plus there is no count done of the fish still below the obstruction at Othello and this year there was a number of fish still below it in August when the count was done. Overall it was a very good return for the coquihalla.

yes it's word of mouth one or 2 times removed from the people who did the count. Mostly these counts don't get published.
