Selective Fisheries

June 22nd, 2011 -- 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.

October 22nd, 2010 -- With critical funding in jeopardy, we need you to send a letter to WDFW today to voice your support for LLTK's Glenwood Springs fall Chinook program. See below for sample text and email addresses for key WDFW staff and decision-makers.

May 14th, 2010 -- Glenwood Springs Hatchery provides sport and commercial fishing opportunities in northern Puget Sound and southern Georgia Strait through its Chinook and coho programs. Marking and tagging these fish is a key operational aspect of Glenwood Hatchery. We began our 2010 marking and tagging season in late April and will continue through mid-May.
