Spring of 2011 brought mass-marking and coded wire tagging to Glenwood Springs. The goal of our Glenwood Springs program is to provide opportunities for northern Puget Sound sport fisheries that are consistent with wild fish recovery. To help accomplish that goal, we “mark” the fish produced at the Glenwood facility by removing the adipose fin on the back of the fish so hatchery origin fish can be identified and kept in the fishery while wild fish are released.
