    Hey MM –

    Were they assisting the trout (or steelhead?) in spawning?

    Henry’s Lake.

    The hybrids came in a few weeks ago, and we were doing the pure cutts.  The hatchery was constructed over a major spawning creek, and the fish come in via a fish ladder.  F/G separates sexes, then nets x number of males and x number of females.  They stun the fish with a chemical, then for every female, a male is milked.  When the fish are done, we would toss them down a pipe that ran back to the lake.

    A few photos:

    The tube shoots the fish right into the lake.

    That’s pretty amazing, MM.

    It’s all good guys. I respect the opinion of all who posted here and I agree with most everything that was posted. I just didn’t want it turn into another bashing for improper handling like I’ve seen on other boards.

    They are Yellowstone cutts and F/G’s goals are to release 1.5 million cutts, 100,000 hybrids, and 100,000 brookies-all fingerlings.

    Keep an eye out for a pod cast on bigfishhappen.com

    Bruce and Shelly were there video taping the process and will post the stuff when they get back from Pyramid Lake.
